Hello! Today is Sunday, 12th February and for once this day of the week is not filled with dismay for a return to another week of academic life as tomorrow through to Friday is a half-term!
To start off this beloved opportunity of a week off, my friends in the local band Silent Blackout played a free gig at The Miners Arms pub in Morda (not to be mistaken for Mordor in Lord of The Rings!!) Perhaps not the most professional of venues, but a pub atmosphere with a collection of good friends and funky tunes is always better than a night in front of the TV. I thought the boys collectively performed well and were very confident, which is always a good sign. They played a sizable set consisting mainly of covers, including Green Day, Velvet Revolver, Metallica, Foo Fighters and a few more plus two or three of their own material was thrown in and received a decent reaction.
They ended with an encore of the ever fantastic Sweet Child O' Mine, that extremely famous riff executed precisely by Jamie McGowan on lead guitar, the Axl Rose imitation amusing from the vocalist Harry Davies, Duff McKagan's bass line delivered by the phenomenal Kieran Jones and Jack Hesketh of course bashing those drums in great rhythm and melody to complete the sound. I for one did enjoy the entertainment they supplied and look forward to their next gig.
Next up on my list of gigs, is of course Alestorm on Wednesday. Over 250 tickets for the show have been sold so it should be a hell of a night! Check my Youtube @ www.youtube.com/user/HiToppzx and follow me on Twitter!: @aandysmith
Thanks, Andy.
