The First Day Of Summer

Big brother Soul
Sixties Soul Revivalists

Sunday May 31st arrived with blazing sun. To be honest, Phil and I had been looking to the rain filled sky the week before this show praying for a nice day. At that point we both would have been happy with a dry day…

Well someone heard our prayers because we had the best day anyone playing the Bandstand in Southsea could ask for. We opened for The Who tribute act Who’s Who. We gave the huge crowd (3,000 +) an hour and a half of what we do best, Sweet Soul Music. My good friend Russell was on hand with his camera.

Line-up: Phil, Jolene, Feleena, Lawrence, Sean, Graeme, Nev, Steve, Wayne, Del, John, and Me

Thanks to
Gary and the guys from Who’s Who.
Heather Todd at Portsmouth City Council.
Adam and Crew - Technical Services PA.

Lawrence gave me GAS

OK I’ll admit it; I suffer from ‘Gear Acquisition Syndrome’.
Seeing my mate buy new gear didn’t help, so I couldn’t resist this Tama Starclassic in Diamond Dust Sparkle.

Thanks to Andertons in Guildford.

New Gear.

Lawrence decided to celebrate the return of Bbs with a new Telecaster & backline. After eyeing the Tele up for many years he closed the deal on a nice shiny new one.

Thanks to GAK in Brighton for helping him part with his money.
