The Watering Hole

'Bout 2 weeks b4 the gig my friend Graham (runs an amateur band called the Lemonstrats) called me saying he was in big trouble! - their guitarist 'bottled' & blew them out (didn't have the confidence to play live), & the gig at the Radnage beer festival in High Wycombe was booked & they were the main support band to 'The Deps' who were the main band!!  

Looks like we were playing to toddlers but it was such a beautiful day everyone (about 250-300 people) was outside the marquee (as you might be able to hear) supping their beer & cider!  Should have put some grease on those poles!!  :D ;D

Anyway, here's a few clips...bit shaky in places but please 'be gentle' as we only had 2 rehearsals - including one in the afternoon before the gig that evening! Loads a time...NOT!  :o

Took two amps with me but ended up using a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe that was already plugged in ...quite a decent little amp.

Rich  ;)


cool! the mosh pit in front of you got a little scary at times - I can see why the guitar player chickened out ;)

HRD sounded pretty good over the cam-mic! nice job
Good job Rich!  You could call Kev and borrow his Vaseline to take care of those pole dancers!   ;D
Nice work Rich, not bad at all. The HRD is an amazing amp for the price on the clean channel.
