Back in 2008 we played here our first overseas gig in Denmark but it wasn't easy going oh no. The venue we discovered when we got there was a sort of semi official hang out place for misfits and punks, Goths and so forth. No problems there. It was welcoming and we prepared to play there in the evening. Then a detective turned up and called us together. Apparently it was Adolf Hitler's birthday and there were several coachloads of Dutch Nazis in town looking for trouble and they were likely to come to the venue. So we thought 'well trust us to be in the midst of trouble' but we lived through the punk era in Frome so we were used to trouble. After a time the security that was supposed to be doing the event all disappeared. So they asked Geoff the drummer and me if we could do security as they would have to close if they have none. So we shrugged our shoulders and stood by the entrance. Then a brick got thrown through the window it looked if things were about to kick off. But nothing happened. Maybe the police had scared them off but there was no further trouble. Of course we were very tense for the rest of the night and were glad when the evening came to a close and we could relax. Bloody Dutch Nazis!
