Texas Two Step
Just as Ninebarrow are our Dorset house band, The Broken Spokes have become our Texas house band. The trip out to Holman Valley Steakhouse was prompted by them playing a gig in the back room dancehall behind the restaurant. It was free entry though I'm pleased to say that when their tips jar was passed round it was full of high value dollar bills.
Everyone seemed to know everyone, locals, band and staff members alike. However, we were very welcome as these strange folk from out of town. Wendee, owner of the establishment, refused to put in air conditioning when refurbishing the hall as she wanted it to be as close to the original as current building codes would allow. So notice the huge wooden shutters that are open behind the band. They allowed airflow through three sides of the old barn building and it worked great!
