You’ve Been Nabbed 20
6th – 8th May 2011
Family Marquee Entertainment
Helvelyn II headlined Saturday night with their debut appearance at the NABD Rally. These young lads quite literally tore the place apart with an outstanding set of covers mixed with their own songs that showed what a class act this band is. From Black Sabbath numbers through to Deep Purple and Saxon, the lads ripped through some of the finest covers of Rock Classics you are likely to see. Their outstanding musicianship and stage presence had the audience baying for more. Lead guitarist Stefan proved time and again what a great guitarist he is and is just as good with his teeth as he is with a pick. Bass player David thundered alongside him with some awesome bass lines as he played it like he was the lead guitarist. James proved how valuable an accomplished drummer is to any band as he kept everyone together with some inspired playing, he never missed a beat. All too soon it seemed, the show was coming to an end and the lads finished off with quite possibly the greatest cover of Freebird I have ever heard or seen and an awesome display of prowess performing Purple Haze. I didn’t want it to end and neither did the audience as they roared their approval for a truly amazing show. They might have been new to the NABD but you can be assured that they will return as they were quite simply outstanding. Check out more on the band here. http://nwb.co/helvelyn2
