What The Hell !!

Here we are at the end of August. August the 30th to be precise, what a damn day.

With two weeks to go until the Rock4Shock gig, Merv has fell in a pit and fractured two ribs.

Hopefully the pain will subside within two weeks, he's just gotta take it easy until then to help the healing process.

A sell out show at Stafford Rangers Football Club is looming, the 15th September is around two weeks away so fingers crossed that he will be ready.

Have you bought your ticket??  If not I'm afraid you have missed the bus.

We have everything crossed here at Band Camp.

4th June 2012

Booked for the Jubilee Celebrations at the village of Sambrook.


 The first time we had used the full PA in what seemed an age. But no problems it all went together well and in no time we had carried out a sound check.

With a good three hours of music we were well equipped and away we went.


About 8.30pm we cranked it up and had the local villagers dancing along to the music.


Hits from Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Queen, The Eagles and many many more, had a full hall up, dancing and singing along.






As loud as ever our ears could stand the revellers loved every minute  of it,  no one seemed to care and kept crying out for more, until around 11.30 when the order of the day at that time was "just one more" and this was it.



And then it was over, and time for a Rock n Roll cup of tea to finish off. Thank god for Typoo!!

Until the next time.

A Few Newfest 2012 Pictures





Newfest 2012

Newfest 2012 has been and gone, but what a fantastic day it had turned out to be. There were approximately 3000 people basking in fabulous hot sunshine. It was a glorious day. 

We came on stage around 2.15pm and played our well rehearsed set which lasted a little longer than we had anticipated, but we were ready for that having rehearsed a couple of extra songs "just in case".

It was simply the best organised one day festival that we have played to date. Everything went to plan and was like a well tuned and oiled machine.

Congratulations to Lawrence Gale and all of his team, and a quick mention for Stage Services who supplied all of the PA and the sound engineer.

Here's hoping that they make this into an annual event.
