Before we caught Dave Haslam's legendary DJ
set at midnight on Saturday night, we watched, well more like chanted along
with the crowd at the Everly Pregnant Brothers gig in the diner. This group
from Sheffield, with their own comedy take on popular songs, were fantastic.
The diner was packed and as the set went on,
the crowd got more and more squished, people resorted to dancing on the tables,
literally.
You could just about make out the voice of
self-proclaimed "Fat Shaun", through the shouts and roars of the
crowd attempting to sing along, enjoying the set so much. Well known songs by
the Everly Pregnant Brothers were played such as "Chav World", a
comedy take on the song Mad World by Tears For Fears, and also "Chip Pan
on Fire", a crowd pleaser and a favourite of ours. Tea towels printed with
the line "ME CHIP PAN'S ON FIRE - DIAL 999" were thrown into the
crowd for fans to fight over.
Anyone who tried to get in to Tim Peaks,
during this set would have found it extremely difficult, in fact, impossible.
The diner was packed to the brim with fans of all ages, from early 20s to late
50s. People were everywhere you looked, you couldn’t move for fans cheering,
singing and pushing for a look at the Everly Pregnant Brothers. People were
even hanging from the window ledge outside the diner, straining to catch a
glimpse of the eclectic ukulele band.
All in all it was a great night enjoyed by
everyone in the diner and anyone in the surrounding field. From the flying tea
towels to the burning chip pans, everyone loved the Everly Pregnant Brothers
and their comedic take on well-known songs. I know I will definitely be buying
their album.
