It’s always a pleasure to play a Wedding at The Swan in Wells – and no, that’s not because it’s 5 minutes away from where I’m based! The garden room has been redecorated since the last time I visited and looks fresher and lighter. Parking and access leave more to be desired but that’s my problem and not the Bride & Groom’s.
I’d only managed to have a chat with Lisa (the Bride) before the Wedding date and not Giulio – but he quickly grabbed me the moment he saw me and asked me to play some 90s tunes, which certainly wasn’t a problem.
It was a lively evening with a real mixture of 70s, 80s and 90s being played along with a good amount of cheese. It’s sometimes tricky in The Swan as the bar is in a different room but at least it’s downwind from the speakers so you can always try calling the (mainly men) that hold-up the bar during the earlier parts of the evening.
