The Dog and Partridge, Yateley



This was band's first visit to the Dog and Partridge in Yateley. It was a good gig and we were made to feel very welcome by the locals and Sean, the landlord. Roger, one of the pub's locals joined the band for few numbers playing harmonica. The line up for the gig was: Iain Fidler on keyboards, Darryl West on guitar and vocals, Tommy O'Donnell on drums, Mike Kings on bass and me, Chris on guitar and vocals. Mike Kings used to play bass with the band before he moved to Hong Kong, so it's good to see him back in action with us while he's over here on vacation. Thanks to his wife Connie for taking the photographs.

The Royal Oak, Oak Avenue, Hampton


25th April, The Royal Oak, Oak Avenue, Hampton


This was our our first gig at the Royal Oak ( http://www.theroyaloakhampton.co.uk/ ) and the band went down very well, so well that the landlady ( Wendy ) asked us if we would play at her 25th wedding anniversary party at the pub. So we'll be back on Saturday 4th August. The line up for the night was Tommy O'Donnell, Chris Belshaw, Iain Fidler, Darryl West and Chris Snook and will be the same for the 4th July. Pictured left is Darryl West proudly holding his Parker Fly guitar.

Another new face


Glynn Evans (bass) has been gigging with the band recently and has been a very welcome addition. Here he is pictured (left) with Pete Terry relaxing after a gig on the 18th April at the Cricketers in Yateley.

New Blood



Steve Bennett, our singer/guitarist for the last three and half years has decided that he would like do fewer gigs with the band, so we have been inviting some guest players to come and gig with the band.

John Parry (pictured) played a full gig with us on 18th April at the Royal Oak in Guildford and all went very well. Also Darryl West played with us on the 2nd May at The Star in Matfield, Kent. Again a different set list and, with onl;y Tommy and myself from the regular band, we had a good evening. Both will be playing with again soon.
