As many of you may know we lost my lifelong dear mate Tony (RUSSET) he had a heart attack on Jan 17th this year (2021) just 2 days after his 75th birthday, we grew up together, sat on the doorsteps eating jam and banana sandwiches together, went to school together, primary and grammar schools, learned to play guitar together to 40 miles of bad road etc, had a shadows band for 25 or so years, I started the QB music club 6 years ago and it has been a life saver to many retired players singers, wannabees, and bedroom players and has given a lot of pleasure to a lot of folk, I have organized several concerts using the club members and we have raised a lot of money for worthwhile causes.
I would love to start a Shadows club meeting once each month but I had a poor response on 'Join my band' just 2 bass players and 2 drummers, I play lead and would love to hear from anyone in the Dudley/Stourbridge/Halesowen or surrounding areas areas in the west Midlands who might like to be part of a monthly Shadows jam meeting, with backing tracks or live jamming, I have a great venue with a stage, PA, Roland drums, get in touch if anyone is interested.
