Where has the time gone.
It is now 26th November !
Merv was taken ill on the 15th of October with flu and then a chest infection. It has taken until now for him to shake it off, but it has left him with a damn cough.
In the meantime the rest of the band have also systematically taken the time off to be ill. The perils of growing older, which means that there is just one rehearsal before the party on the 7th of December.
Finger crossed that everyone is fighting fit for then !

7th December and more
The 8th November my god where has the last month gone. Merv dropped ill on the 15th October and to date is still recovering.
The Doc has now given him a course of steroids to aid the healing process, so fingers crossed he will be up and singing very very very soon.
While we have been inactive, we have been offered what could turn out to be the very very last "Friday Night Presents" gig at The Royal Naval Association Club House in Bellmans Yard Newport Shropshire (home to the famed Newport Open Mic evenings that are held there every Tuesday)
Through whatever reason and I think it may be a lack of promotion the "One Friday a month" live band nights have generally not been well attended and have been losing money for the promoter. Another reason could be that there is no pattern to "The Friday Night" ie one month it may be on the 2nd or 3rd Friday while the next month it may be on the 4th Friday. Either way the figures have been disappointingly dropping, despite the quality of the bands that have played there.
Bang To Rights are to play what may result in the very last Live Band night on 7th December. Yes folks the 7th December. Despite our 3hour set, we have elected to ask Jack Green if he will do us the honour of supporting us on what is sure to be a very emotional night.
Jack is a singer songwriter with amazing talent and voice, who has recorded his own album and is now busy promoting it by gigging up and down the entire country. Merv who has known Jack's family personally for many many years has seen this young musician grow as an artiste and we are really chuffed to bits that he agreed to take a break from his heavy gigging load, in order to help us out on the 7th December.
So why not come along on the 7th December and see what all the fuss is about, lets see if we can't change the promoters mind and continue with the "Friday Night Presents Live Band night", throughout 2013.
Good cheap beer, a great atmosphere and LIVE music by Newport's premier classic rock and blues band Bang To Rights.
Remember folks when its gone its gone so Keep Music Live and support the "Friday Night Presents" Live band evenings.
See you there.
Mark, Steve, Pete and Merv.
