Wassisname

____________
___________

Tonight I'm off to see wassisname from that band from Shepherd's Bush.

I must admit I'm a tad apprehensive and perhaps slightly intimidated about going to tonights gig with 2000 Daltrey fans. (Nothing a shot of southern comfort won't fix....I'm hoping)

It should be a good show from what I've been reading about the tour.
Tonight is the end of the tour.
I'll post any photo's and a review Tuesday.

Update 12.20pm
I just read that Roger's voice gave him a hard time last night,I hope the gig is still on.

Dear Premier drums

uhhhm

urrr .........how can I put this ?

Dear Premier drums,
we seem to be *cough* running out of drum kits for some strange reason :\

is there a possibility we could "borrow" a few of yours ?

We'll bring em back.................honest we we will ;)
as you can see we are very careful as to where we "place" them.

Video's
Drums1
Drums2 ...this one is VERY loud...(I'd turn your speakers down if I were you)

Drums3
Drums4
Drums5 good one
Drums6.....the best

Oh.....btw if you happen to run into Mr.Gibson, could you ask him if he's got any spare guitars laying around that we could 'borrow' as well, especially these or these

thanks we'd really appreciate that.
(Gladly pay ya Tuesday;) watch at 4.24

Yours sincerely,

The Wholigans

*note to self*

Write 'Dear Southern Comfort' letter.

HIWATT

__________________________________________________________________________

The Wholigans & HIWATT UK have had a working relationship since 2002 and they have been very very good to us and we look forward to many years to come.

Earlier this year we teamed up to play Germany at Musikmesse and they also supplied the band with equipment on our UK tour .

Last month we also recieved a shipment of customized 'The Wholigans' amps and cabinets for our USA shows

(photo's to follow)

Once again in 2010 HIWATT and the band will team up for shows in the EU + UK .

The Wholigans are proud to be listed as a HIWATT UK artist, next to artists such as

'The Killers' ,Coldplay & Cheap Trick.

With 2010 being the 40th anniversary of 'LIVE AT LEEDS' ,we look forward to carrying on the tradition of The Who & HIWATT UK.

Best of the best

I hope I don't piss too many Wholigans off about this......but
This video is probably one of (if not THE best performance) I've seen of The Wholigans.
I have been SO LUCKY to have been surrounded by great -really great- musicians over the years.
Without whom I'd look and sound like shit.
This is from 1987-88ish or so . (it say's 89, but I believe it's a couple of years before that)

PLAY VERY VERY LOUD!!!!!!

I'll probably have to look for new band members after this as the current ones probably won't talk to me :(
Y'know I love you guys ;) ........honest enjun
