John had been in email contact since April 2004 upon discovering this very website. His job brought him back to the West Country for a week in November 2005, which prompted the out-of-the-blue reunion. Following a series of emails, phone calls and text messages, a last-minute rehearsal room was booked and the band were back from the dead!
Using instruments that had been largely borrowed, hired and blagged, Chances R eagerly tore through a substantial chunk of their set over the course of a loud and sweaty 3-hour session. Understandably, after a decade of inactivity, the band were at times a little ropey, but all four members had an enjoyably nostalgic evening and expressed an interest in repeating the exercise whenever time allows.
Both Roy and Jason played guitar - the band tackled a few of the later 5-piece era songs without keyboards. Part of the session was recorded on Minidisc, though the sound quality of the recording was generally poor. Of the 16 songs attempted, Kingpit, One And The Same, Radar, Built On A Landslide and Hurt You The First Time seemed to shine the most.
