Don't like feeling this way_Mu3aC_Live
Recorded Live at the Old Baptist Chapel Tewkesbury Gloucestershire. Using a Zoom recorder placed at the back of the venue in the gallery.Consequently there are some issues with feedback and lack of definition at times
We are a 6 piece band although originally there were 8 of us. We were formed in 2017 as a U3A group, hence our former name, and by our love of Rock and Blues.
We are a 6 piece band. But were an 8 piece originally
We love making music together and have a definite leaning towards Rock and Roll and the Blues, but we have also developed quite an eclectic mix of music to perform. We usually play only twice a year, raising money for local charities.

Story behind the song
These words came to me one night after I had written "I'm Sad I'm Mad" so I wrote them down, I must mention they have nothing to do with my own life. Martin then very skilfully wrote the music with a few tweaks to the lyrics
