6th Gig – Liverpool – The Cavern I know we say every week that this week’s venue is best…well we mean it today!  The Cavern – home of the Beatles, one of the best known Rock ‘n’ Roll place on Blighty.  We felt as though the Dogs of Rock were stepping into history’s shoes.   In The Cavern the stage is under the arches and the acoustics are fantastic – the sound… Read More »6th Gig, The Cavern – Liverpool!

Walking past the harbour I spotted a cormorant diving for his dinner. He vanished under water with a sploosh and reappeared seconds later right over the other side! There were plenty of other sea birds on the shore, with oystercatchers running in and out with the waves and turnstones flipping the rocks in the hope of a tasty morsel. I’m sure the seagulls are longing for summer, so they can… Read More »Food for Thought…

  La la la la la la la…… …Oh hello there folks you’ve just caught me singing. Through sheer boredom and trying to cheer ourselves up, we have decided to form a band. Sonny the Singing Tractor with Scampi on guitar featuring the Dogs of Rock (who popped down from Liverpool to visit!!!) So far we’ve had lots of practice, the Dogs of Rock have been patiently giving me singing lessons… Read More »Sonny the Singing Sea Tractor!

Poor scampi has got the flu and we don’t know what to do! He won’t eat, he won’t talk and he has been shivering all day. Even Stephen Seagull and Molly have been nice to him, by offering him fish that they have caught for themselves and offering to get scampi some sea water to gargle his throat with. Scampi nods sheeplishly and thanks the seagulls for their help. As… Read More »Poor Scampi!

Sushi and I have just come back from a really long walk – we went to the forest near my village.  Sushi ran round the trees chasing the squirrels.  We then had a paddle in the stream…it was very cold but Sushi was brave and jumped in!  He had so much fun and I threw him sticks into the water.  He’s really tired now and has curled up on his… Read More »A walk in the forest

There’s going to be a big party at Koob beach and all my friends will be there. I love a party and, after deciding what to wear (my favourite glittery fedora of course!) I will head down the cliff to meet everyone. Harry and Netty said they will bring lots of tasty treats to eat, with multi-coloured fruit and veg, marshmallow kebabs and jelly. All the bears will be on… Read More »Another party!

Scampi has gone off to get his fur shampooed, Netty and Harry are playing with their friends and even Stephen Seagull and Molly have gone to look for food as they are always hungry. Just me myself and I,… Read More »Happy Birthday to me!

4th Gig: De Montfort Hall – Leicester Rick here.  Dogs of Rock are in Leicester. Just finished doing rehearsals for tonight’s gig.

We have one of the uni bands supporting us. They’re great guys and are real crowd pleasers. They’ll have… Read More »4th Gig! De Montfort Hall
