Hi Rob,
Needless to say we were all so pleased to see Phil back playing again - and how!! Also great to see James (and Pauline) as well.
Phil came along with his gear and played as only as he can - with ' that sound' us guitarists have always longed to achieve. Firstly, I know Barry G has some great photos he took on the evening on Facebook. Well worth a look.
As this was integrated with our Club Night - Phil gave every player opportunity to play through his system - doing the sound engineering for each number. ( which made their day )!
Of course, Phil did a set with The Shadders including - The Stranger, Apache, Sleepwalk, Shadoogie and The Savage (doing the steps and turns with me on Rhythm - I enjoyed that), and to close, got up with his son James to play some Blues - 'Red House' then followed with James on Lead with 'Hey Joe' ( James has a good teacher)! Finishing with some good old Rock and Roll.
What a cracking night. Phil was relaxed and in great form.
A very Big Big thanks to the all the family for staying the course, ( finished at 11.45PM ). Also to Del Boy for arranging the day. ( Things like this take a lot of time to organise).
Everyone had a ball - I know Phil enjoyed it too!
