Four nights later, they found themselves at The Corn Dolly in Oxford, a famed heavy metal watering hole.
Robert: "That was the worst gig we ever did. It was snowing, we broke down, we ran out of petrol, we loaded all the stuff in and it was about 10 feet square. I started singing without any drums because Lol had gone for a piss outside and there were only about 20 people there anyway, all blokes, really drunk, and one just shouting out all night 'Play that drip drip drip one again!' We played '10:15' about eight times because it was the only song he wanted to hear and every time we got halfway through something else, he'd throw a beer glass at us and shout 'Play that drip drip drip one again!' Horrible."
