The Drummer and I have played the same hotel for a few years now. We do a deal and bring the wives & kids along (so thats a total party of 7), have the meal with the rest of the guests, play the night (approx 9 to 1 am) (with a disco) (and a piper at 12.30), sleep at the hotel and awake to a cooked breakfast, an hour or two in the pool, lunch and then off home again. Very civilised, and I don't have to do the washing up!
This year was one of the better ones; all the guests were ready to party so we had dancing all night. Makes it so much easier!
