Supporting
Sandi Thom for the second time, this time south of the river down at
the Pocklington Arts Centre near York, was an exciting prospect for
The Restaurant. Again it was another new venue for the band but it proved
itself to be a fantastic space willing to offer the band a blank canvas
to paint their name on, big and bold. This beautiful English town brought
together a variety of musicians of international origin to share their
talents on one stage, including two guys from Miami. The boys from the
US of A make up one half of the band Tristan & The Juice bringing
some sparkle to the evening and needless to say The Restaurant's performance
shined right on through.
Hopefully The Restaurant's Sandi Thom experience will lead them onwards
and upwards.

As
you may know The Restaurant scored two support spots with Sandi Thom,
tonight was the first seeing the band head up to Dumfries through the
snow to entertain our neighbours on the Scottish side of the border.
The crowd reservedly watched as the band made their usual melodic introductions
to the evening and as the band concluded the audience were holding back
no longer and there was an exciting buzz of interest in them. Well according
to Sandi, "There's only one Saturday night in every week"
so see you in two days time to witness how great a Saturday night
can really be.

Another
successful evening for the band at Ashington's finest gig venue, Bubbles
Wine Bar, and whilst the wine wasn't all full bodied and aromatic the
music of the evening was like a fine vintage, sharp and full of flavour.
The quality of the music on offer had certainly pushed on to the next
step for this the semi-final of the Battle of the Bands. All of the
bands who played this evening had a style of their own and an obvious
talent, but once again The Restaurant rose above the rest of the competition
and played their way right into the final in a fortnights time.

A
successful first round of the Battle of the Bands at the Three Tuns
in Gateshead, The Restaurant made their way through with ease. The three
competing bands last night were not of a similar style to The Restaurant,
they favoured the harder rock sound and image, but The Restaurant won
over the crowd, made an impression on the judges and secured a place
in the next round.
