Young Candidate

Only three-fifths of The Candidates could make tonight's rehearsal - which meant we were without a drummer.

Luckily, Alan (the blur on the left) had persuaded his young son Sean (the blur behind the kit) to fill in. Not only did he do so rather well, he also significantly reduced the average age of the band.

Unfortunately, it did mean we couldn't go for a drink afterwards, but you can't have everything.
