Sharing some images from Paul McCartney's Hyde Park gig this Sunday






Sharing some images from Hyde Park this Sunday (click to enlarge)

It started with England getting thrashed to the bluegrass music of Elvis Costello.





















Then Crosby, Stills and Nash - with Stephen Stills on stellar form with the guitar
















And then the thrill of a life time Sir Paul McCartney

Seeing Paul McCartney + CSN, Elvis Costello and Crowded house this Sunday

Although it’s going to a long drive to London and back on Sunday we’ve got tickets to see Paul McCartney with support CSN, Elvis Costello and Crowded House at hard rock calling.
Should be an amazing day – whether England win or lose.

The Zombies - a great band behind so many famous songs

We were lucky enough to see the Zombies play live at the Lowry yesterday and were blown away by the musicianship and sheer number of famous songs the band’s member's have been behind. Key originals Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent are still there looking and sounding great. Whilst fellow musicians Jim Rodford, Steve Rodford and Tom Toomey were superb,- especially new guitarist Tom Toomey who flipped between a strat, PRS custom and acoustic guitars with technical skill that matched Rod Argent’s legendary keyboard playing. Anyway enough writing the music speaks for itself.


The Zombies Set List

The Zombies last night
The amazing Zombies - though you're f***ed if they bite you.









Did you know Argent and Rodford were responsible for this 'most excellent' song


And Colin Blunstone was a major part of the Alan Parsons project
