Morning all ---- Events started a day early with a recently added Sept 30th gig at the Picturedrome in Holmfirth to see The Magic Band. Saw them in March at the Duchess but decided that the offer of a lift with four other long time Beefheart fans was too good to turn down. Thanks to Pete for the invite who unfortunately fell down the stairs while doing the hoovering one hour before setting off so we had to leave him behind. Luckily a visit to A and E showed no serious damage.
Magic Band - the tightest bunch of musicians you will ever see were on form after a few technical problems at the start. Only two gigs in the UK this time so audience was from far and wide.
John “Drumbo “French sings in true Beefheart style - a good few old favourites plus new material .
Youngest members of the group guitarist Eric Klerks and drummer Craig Bunch hold their own with 3 of the original members. The nearest thing you could get to bringing back the spirit of The Captain !
