Hey there nostalgia fans i found this recently when digging through the archives so i thought that i would share it with you as it represents our humble beginnings. This photo shows one of the first ever performances by the collection of individuals performing together who would go on to become known as the Fanzini Brothers. We were never really crusty jugglers who would juggle on the side of the street for a couple of cans of cider (partly cos i was too posh) and we always aspired to take it more seriously than that, we wanted to put it out there as a proper performance so even back then when we had no real performance skills or even proper costumes we were out there keeping it real. The shot also features our original line up and you can also see our good friend Ruan standing off to the right casually watching the show little did he know the behemoth of variety entertainment that we would become.
As i remember this gig was at the time the biggest thing that we had ever done and took place at a scouting event that happened in Farranfore. We were green as hell and if you look closely you will see that we were even wearing face paints which was something that we quickly grew out of. I also remember that we got to this gig in the first place by being driven to the venue by my life partner(sic) Kathleen who had a car at the time. Not really much of an audience in evidence either. I dont even remamber how much we got paid for this gig but it wasnt much i am willing to bet. Who care we got the gig and they hired us when no one else in their right minds would have and started us on our way.
