Legend,
Its like this ..........
On April 2nd and notably Dales leaving Doooo - I pretty much quit the Dogs, had a good run over the years blah blah, in the audience however was 'Spike' awesome Bass player bloke ....... who suggested a jam with Me / Tony & Drummer bloke, 7 days later We hit the rehearsal room - Tony graduated from Bass to lead vocalist, Spike had learnt the set inc. our 'arrangements' ! rehearsal went so well I could only think this could work !
First gig last nite at the rather cool Unicorn in Eccles - heard mixed reviews of the Uni however BYD were treated more than well, Landlord Chris was a diamond geezer - lettin us run amok in his Pub !
So first gig and for me - the real acid test, no comfy rehearsal room etc. etc. ...........
Gig was awesome, many friends willing us on - Tony in particular, then in walks the legendary Rock n' Roll Ken, not seen him in a while - after the gig Ken issued his seal of approval stating that this B.Y.D line-up was the best he had ever seen ! Blimey ........... looks like I'll just have to carry on - carrying on - cos' Ken says so !!!
Gotta thank Ejectthetape - who lit us up last night with a light show you just gotta see !
Craig on sound - often a thankless task, however Landlord Chris asked how he got the sound to be so clear, so well done that man !
The Wife Jewels on ...... er ....... Backing vocals !
The Spike-ster on Bass who single-handedly restored my faith, ( awesome singer too )
Robby 'grumpy bollox' H. on Drums, solid as a solid thing,
Don from 'Wasting Time' for review, ( check W.T set list ! WoW )
Bring on the Cricketers next week - ejectthetape has something extra planned - says its gonna be HUGE !!!
:O)
