Acweorna! It’s another thrown together at the last-minute show. I’m not sure why I’m not getting things together earlier having to suffer the wrath of Barton in the process. Mind you having said that I’m pleased with the way it turned out. There’s a couple of tribute songs. One for Trevor Smith, no relation, who lived two doors down from me who has at one time and another drummed for Mark King and Level 42 along with more recently The Divine Comedy, who sadly passed away last weekend. The other is Phil Spalding who came to my attention as bassist in The Bernie Tormé Band. As it’s the 43rd Anniversary of Bon Scott’s passing on the 19th I play the last song he “performed” with AC/DC in the UK on Top of the Pops, but not the severely edited tv friendly version. A foreign language band prove a good song is a good song and as both versions of L.A. Guns have new albums out this year, I play a track from each. On the gig front I’ve booked to see the UK Subs on three of their “Farewell to Long Tours”. I wanted it to be four but the last date at the 100 Club was already sold out by the time I logged on to the venue website. Enjoy!
