title The BBs' Last Tango in Tewkesbury, Middle Stanley, Gloucestershire - 23rd July 2016 intro The BBs are up in Tewkesbury, Gloucester, to play for Jo's sister's 50th birthday at a rented house/hamlet up in the honey-limestone hills of Middle Stanley, deep in the Cotswolds. As it happened, it also marks the end of the twelve-year run of The BBs as Jo announces her departure in a post-breakfast meet-up at the Premier Inn, before the band return to the venue to pick up the gear for the last time. imgc3781 On the A11, just outside Thetford, we make a stop to fill up with diesel imgc3782 On the A14, there's the tragic sight of a crashed Morgan imgc3783 We meet up with Rob and Henry at Kettering Services imgc3784 Henry roams around the forecourt imgc3785 Max finds his room imgc3786 Max wanders around the Tewkesbury Premier Inn imgc3787 Rob with his leopard-print guitar case imgc3789 Rob's on the phone imgc3791 Max checks for texts imgc3792 Rob's guitar is hanging around imgc3793 We head off to the van imgc3797 Henry gets in a twenty-point turn imgc3799 Gear is unloaded imgp4794 Stuff is unloaded from the vans imgp4796 The venue and the Cotswold hills imgp4798 The band and Martin have a coffee imgp4800 The band's gear imgp4801 Jo pretends to do an 80s-style music video imgp4804 Max and Rob unpack stuff imgp4805 Henry sorts his kit out imgp4807 Time for a sound check imgp4808 A load of glasses, and a nice view out imgp4809 Jo gets on the mic imgp4810 A former barn is slowly converted imgp4812 We poke around on the estate imgp4814 Heating and hot water from eco-wood-burners imgp4816 guests mill around imgp4818 Henry gets a beer imgp4821 The party assembles imgp4822 Max and Rob imgp4823 The band have their own table imgp4830 Henry and his shirt lurk in a doorway imgp4834 Jo does a rare voluntary pose for the camera imgp4839 Honey limestone farmhouse imgp4840 Henry tests his SPDS under blue lights imgp4853 An evening scene imgp4857 Jo's sister does a speech imgp4860 Henry's mic stand wrecks his snare drum imgc3800 Max has a laff at breakfast, before the end imgp4862 The view back at the venue in the morning imgp4864 The band packs up for the last time imgc3801 Easter Park - the Dowty Seals and Trelleborg site imgc3803 What looks like a derelict military base imgc3804 Max at some services near Huntingdon on the A14 imgc3806 On the A11
