About Me

This page is less about me and more about the band, Sore Point. We are a melodic heavy rock band based in the Nottingham area, playing the usual pub and club circuit. The band has existed since 2001 but in its current Mk3 format since 2003, the members being Chris Lee (Vocals/Guitar/Keyboards), Chris Maguire (Guitar), Tich Lee (Drums/Percussion/Vocals) and myself, Phil Grimwade (Bass/Vocals). We all have 'real' jobs so this is a paying hobby, we basically want to enjoy ourselves playing the music that we, and hopefully our audience, love. We play a mixture of covers and originals with songs from or influenced by the music of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and Present DayHave a look at www.sorepoint.info for more Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

Technical problems

Not sure what happened last night at The Bell, a game of two halves as they say. Our powered monitor packed up on Saturday so we were borrowing some gear, there was a constant threat of feedback, my w...

Support acts

Not blogged for a bit but moved to random acts of senseless violence (almost) for the following reason: I went to see Marillion last night at Rock City in Nottingham. They were amazing, I love them, t...
