chrisb ● 12th Oct 2024		A recollection of this gig recently posted by Andrew Cresswell Davis in a Stackridge Facebook group: “I remember this one very well. The town hall had a sliding screen on tracks the divided the hall in two. This screen was vast and stretched from floor to ceiling and across the entire width of the hall. It was also rather ancient and covered with glazed panels - windows to you and me. The bar was situated on one side of the screen and the auditorium and stage on the other. We’d finished our set and I was sitting in this bar with various members of Stackridge chatting quietly and enjoying a beer or two. Through the glass partition we saw Ozzie and the band take the stage. A few seconds later as Sabbath started their first number the screen started violently shaking and vibrating from top to bottom and from side to side. I struggle to describe the noise it made - it sounded, as Crun would often remark ‘like a gorilla in a harpsichord factory.’ All conversation on our side of the screen abruptly stopped until they finished their first song and relative silence returned. That lasted very briefly until they started song number two when the excruciating din started again. After maybe 15 mins of this I’d had enough and went out to watch the band - they sounded much better from the other side! Those were - I think we can all agree - the days.”
