What a band!

Went to see Freestealer tonight and was treated to a superb feast of Free and Bad Co courtesy of the incredible voice of Baz, a bass god we all know the one and only Mike Collinge and what looked like Paul McCartney on the Tubs? [just kiddin Nick]
Dont know the guitarist's name but he was pretty close on the sound!
I will be going to see these guys again in the near future and would recommend people who love this music to make the effort and see this band as soon as!
loved it!

I think the guitarist is Tim!? A very humble and pleasant guy to talk to.. He used to get up for a jam with us, playing his harmonica, at The Knacky in Chorley....Never mentioned he played guitar in Freestealer though! lol.. Top geezer and ego-free!
