A huge thanks to Shredder for stepping in last night

I can safely say I have never seen a pub audience react like they did at The Beaumont to these guys


Johnny and John stepped in at about 1pm yesterday to fill the 8-9 slot at the Charity Day at the Beaumont Arms when a band had to pull out through illness. They took the stage about 9.30 and started with a great rendition of Whiskey in the Jar. Then Johnny asked if we wanted an instrumental and John broke into Canon Rock. He was truly amazing and I have never seen a pub on mass focus on the band with literally their mouths wide open. Johns talents are limitless and Shredder as a band were superb. It was a joy to watch and everyone was in awe of how good Johns guitar playing was. If you think im going over the top go and see for yourself. Johnny im sure you are very proud of John and you should also be very proud of Shredder as a whole.
It was a great gesture to step in at the last minute and we all thank you for that and also for really making the whole day for us.
We will be definately catching up with you soon. John is off to university in September so dont leave it too long go and see them you will be amazed

Then they would have done half an hour and been half an hour late for the next gig provided it was 15 minutes away and they can set up in 15 minutes and pack up the car in that 15 minutes Simple really. Can I have a pint of what youve been drinking tonight please Willow
