Was drinking with a chap I often drink with on Fridays, when a fat bloke in a suit comes into the pub and offers the services of his duo the following night for a knock down price, as the venue they were expecting to play had cried off at short notice. The management of the pub ummed and ahhed so in the end he left and tried another pub further down the road. He was successful. I've not tried that pub before so my Friday drinking companion said we should go check it out.
I liked the pub, it was a friendly and cosy environment. A huge log burner was keeping us all warm and toasty. With their backs to the front window was this duo.
I didn't think much of either guitarist. The fat guy with the red strat
didn't add anything to the backing track, and the older guy made sure he
played as little as possible. Apparently he created all the backing
tracks so I must credit him with some musical
ability, but the way he handled his instrument made me think he was not
a particularly accomplished player.
I will also give them credit for not playing too much country. They
sussed that people got up to dance to the rock'n'roll stuff and
therefore played more of it.
I had to put my earplugs in. Ergo, they were too loud.
The fat bloke was wearing the same trousers as the previous night, he'd just swopped his shirt and jacket for a polo shirt..

I doubt it'll be made into a film.
That’s how I read it, anyway.

Jack Black for the fat bloke!
