At the end of the song Katie had the crown eating outa the palm of her hand with joking
comments, she had all 350 people laughing it seemed, Emma came to her mic showing that she
was finished re-tuning,

“Ok, ok, enough of that, I’m the comedian in this band” she winked at Katie, “How do you
make 5lbs of fat look attractive then?” Emma grinned.
They started the playing intro to the
song, just before Katie started singing Emma shouts “Put a nipple on it” and away they go
into the song, Katie struggling not to laugh.

Bette grabbing Tina and Shannon close to her so they could hear her “That’s her totally into
it then, telling boob jokes to 350 people, haha we really shouldn’t let her drink Irn-Bru
before she goes on, the sugar rush is just too much for her” they all laugh and go back to
jumping around to the song.

Bette was right about Emma being totally into it now, she was
jumping up and down going a little crazy but totally engulfing the crowd shouting JUMP!
JUMP! away from her mic but everyone could see what she was shouting.

At the end of the song Shannon commented on how Emma looked like she was going to explode
with joy from looking over the crowd, and hearing the reaction.

“Right folks we are going to change the pace of things a little after that bonanza of a
beginning, whew, this one is for the love of my life, its always been a song very close to
our hearts” Emma beamed. They went into an acoustic version of Green Day’s Good Riddance
(Time of Your Life), with both Emma and Katie singing. Amy playing guitar. Rebecca sitting
behind the kit watching on, and Kirsty slinking off to the side to sort out the tuning on
the two electric guitars and Emma’s bass for the next song.

The harmonies were amazing, it
stuck Tina just how cool Emma’s voice sounded when she sung, she didn’t sing very often,
probably because of how nervous it made her, thinking back to sitting out on the curb
before the gig, she laughed at the transformation in her confidence. Emma’s voice was low
and raspy and Katie’s was a lot higher and sort of floaty.

Tina was brought out of her deep thoughts by Bette throwing her arms around her and Shannon
from between them and making the three of them sway till the end of the song. The crowd
clapped ecstatically at the end of the song while they all got back to their standard
places.

They then proceeded to rattle threw some rocky songs, crowd pleasers immersing
everyone in the moment.

Then another longer break between songs, a little fiddling with
effects pedals and Katie talking to the crowd.

“Ok guys we’re gonna try something a little different now, its one of our mates favourite
songs, so please indulge us” she chanted cheerily.

“Get yer ***** out!” Shannon shouted teasingly at Katie, making the whole crowd laugh soo
much, Katie simply flipped her the finger and carried on faffing with her microphone cord
trying to detangle it from the stand again.

Emma came up to her mic again,

“Right you, I’ll get you for that later”, the others were
all set up
“This song is a bit special to us, and I’ve even had coaching on a proper southern accent
for it from Tina, who ladies and gentlemen is now STAYING in Scotland for uni! YEA! This is
for you hot stuff” she winks in Tina’s direction.

Broken by Seether, the way they did it with Amy Lee.
Tina was amazed at the transformation in Emma’s accent, the broad Glaswegian twang was
totally gone, she sounded totally ace.

Bette slipped her arms around Tina’s waist from behind her leaning around to speak into her
ear.
“You did good T, she sounds almost as hot as you do”
Tina sighed, and as Bette was pulling away again back to a ‘just friends distance’ Tina
grabbed her arms holding her in position. The enjoyed the song like this absently swaying
to it.
Little did they realise that Emma had looked up at them at the final section of the
song, to sorta sing it at Tina but she saw Tina’s eyes closed her head tilted back a little
with Bette behind her arms wrapped around her with her head on her shoulder half buried in
that golden hair. Emma stored this little nugget away for later once everyone had, had a
few drinks.

The rest of the gig seemed to fly passed, some more jumpy crowd pleasers finishing on a
“typical crowd pleaser” Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.

TBC :o) Where will they go to?
