Impromptu
live appearance
We were
all recently at Pete's wedding where his band played during the
evening celebrations - we were ask if Stairway would be playing
and thanks to the resident band, we got up and did an impromptu 3
tracks, totally un-rehearsed - and what made it all the more exciting
is we managed to drag Rob up on stage to do a number, the 1st time
he's played in 5 years. Below is a 50 second clip taken on an iphone
- sadly Rob isn't on the clip, but there are some pics of the
four of us HERE

Here's
the latest news from Andy regarding his on-going shoulder problem:

Thanks
guys for helping us get to number 2 in the local Metal Charts for Nuneaton

Andy's
been referred to specialists for more tests and scans on his
shoulder; we're hoping everything will have a positive conclusion, so
things on the new record have slowed; all the songs are written and
half recorded, we just need to finish up as and when Andy is back
100%. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Graeme
has begun writing songs for the next record, so the band may do two
in a relatively short space of time.
Thanks
as always for all your support and encouraging comments - You All Rock!

Andy was
back in physio - hotly pursued by a strange bird, no not that kind ;-)
July 9th
Here's
the latest from Andy -
"Back
to physio on Thursday, hope they can do something. Shoulder felt
better last week so I reduced the painkillers and it's worse than
before now. Grrrrrr.
Got to
be confident they can do something, I can't live without being able
to drum."

Thankfully,
things with Andy's shoulder are improving, here's a message or
should that be massage, from the man himself:
"Just
been to physio. Shoulder is on the mend. Be back drumming soon I
hope \o/"

Hello everyone,
some
up-to-date news.
Recording
on the new album is coming along - slowly but surely - we say
slowly but surely for a particular reason; Andy has a chronic
shoulder problem which he's suffering with, he was hoping it was just
a cramp and has been working through it aided by pain killers, but it
seems to be something more; some days he can't lift his arms above
his shoulders and finds it difficult to do the simplest of things at
times; he is under the doctor but nothing conclusive has been
suggested as to what the problem is.
We've
fitted in recording when he has good days and in not too much pain,
and shall continue this way when he feels up to it.
Hopefully,
and God willing everything will be sorted out and he will be fit,
pain free and back to his old self.
We ask
that you keep him and the band in your thoughts and prayers.
Andy,
Pete & Graeme.

We
started off not too early on Saturday morning heading for Birmingham
airport to catch a 12:50pm (GMT) Lufthansa flight arriving in
Frankfurt at around 3:25pm local time; we were met by Christian at
the airport and travelled a 110Km journey to the venue - Wow those
roads are perfect!!
Andreas
met us on arrival and took care of our equipment after which we
settled in to our hotel rooms, and then enjoyed some of the bands on
the bill, drinking a few beers and enjoying a late lunch -
chatted with a few guys we hadn't seen for a number of years when we
played Metalfest in 2005, after which we prepared ourselves for the gig.
Went on
stage at around 11.30pm and had a blast on stage; thanks to everyone
in the audience for your enthusiasm and headbanging!! and to everyone
we met and talked with after the gig, you're all stars!!

Packed
our stuff up and left the venue at around 1.45am (local time) and
walked to the hotel only a couple of minutes away - man it was dark!!
Awoke on
a cold and misty Sunday morning, had a lovely breakfast of coffee,
tea, orange juice meats, cheeses, bread rolls, eggs; thanks to our
lovely hostess who got up early to prepare for us :-) - we were then
driven to Frankfurt airport for our 11.20am return flight home,
arriving back at Birmingham airport around 12.50pm (GMT) to a bright
sunny morning.
Thanks
to everyone at Full Metal Osthessen who made us so welcome: Andreas,
Christoph, Christian our driver, all the staff, stage hands,
sound guys, lighting guys and most of all, you the fans, it was a
real honour to be able to come and play again in Germany - hope
to see you again soon! :-)
Thanks a lot!
Pete,
Andy & Graeme.
