THANKS FOR ALL APPRECIATION SINCE THE GIG.THIS VIDEO CLIP BY COURTESY OF BOSUN OF www.bosunsbikes.com ______________________________________________ MARCH 28th '09 - Johnny Gunner & the Raiders. A 3 piece from Essex area who have their own unique sound.In my opinion, the guitar, played by Johnny, being the core of the sounds produced, although saying that, the bass & drums are very clearly heard too. I guess you could describe the sound they produce as rockabilly with a bit of blues added & a touch raw. Do covers & their own material.Hear them at - www.myspace.com/johnnygunnerandtheraiders ______________________________________________ April 25th '09 - SUNDOWNERS - AFTER BACKING JOHNNIE FOX 2 MONTHS AGO, IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO HAVE SUNDOWNERS RETURN TO CRONDALL & RIP IT UP ALL OVER AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME WITH LEE GOCHER BEING THE MAIN MAN. THIS BAND KNOW HOW TO ROCK IT UP & GET THINGS MOVING. GREAT VERSATALITY & VERY PROFESSIONAL. IF YOU GET THE CHANCE & HAVEN'T ALREADY...GO & SEE THEM. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. HEAR THEM AT - www.myspace.com/leegocherandthesundowners ______________________________________________ May 30th - Roosters rocked Crondall with some well covered standards, and a few self penned & had the place jumpin'. This is the Bass player (Kev) / lead vocalist's band, with Guitarist & backing vocalist Bill, & Phil is on Drums. Kev has great vocals, & Bill plays some good licks on the guitar. A tight band, which I can't really fault & enjoyed the gig as much as we did. Watch out for their c.d Henhouse Riot on Footapping records.______________________________________________NEXT BAND AT CRONDALL R 'N' R CLUB.
