So here we are, having just finished the first weekend of the 'restructured' Bad Dog... And it worked. Don't know why I'm so amazed, but I guess after weeks of 'fake it til you make it, hope', real hope still feels kind of, well, unreal.

We did a little better than expected on every event, made some great contacts, have the support of the local music community, and the enthusiasm level all round seems to be growing.

I guess after one week I shouldn't be barking out 'we did it!' but this week, 'WE DID IT!' and I'm going to celebrate!
