Hi Folks
Bit late I know (timing should be my thing really i suppose) but brief report on the Shoreham 3 Friends Gig.
Accompanied by Paul (from the ATF crew) we witnessed what i can only describe as a mind blowing display of musical ability by 6 talented guys some of whom are old enough to know better really (sound familiar anyone ). Gentle Giant were the first band i got into (before ATF even) and from the outset the memories flooded back. Very few mistakes considering the complexity of the songs and also that singer Mick Wilson (10CC) had not heard the band before being approached for this project.
All in all a fantastic display with 2 hours of music either side of a very brief break. Highlight for me was meeting John Weathers (their main drummer although sadly no longer able to play) in the chip shop next door. Lovely bloke as were the rest of the band and also the fellow fans i got to meet along the way.
there's a few links to clips of the Shoreham gig and one held a week or so later in Gothenburg below for your enjoyment.
Progtastic - let's hope the Sign's of Change Band get's off the ground so we can enjoy some ATF from the same period as GG.
enjoy
