Loud and feisty at the Railway Tavern

Local artist Ben Quail captured the spirit of the gig at the Railway Tavern in Brightlingsea at the Weekend. Bruce on the left of the picture with slicked back hair and freshly trimmed beard used his latest purchase: a white pedal that makes an echoey, wah wah sound, Barry is centre of the picture holding a stick and looking very jolly, Bob on the left looking feisty and furious and completely unperturbed as the landlord leapt onto the stage to look for the source of the burning smell that was filling the room. OOPS, Ben's jacket, pictured over the sketch had caught fire!

Bob and Dylan

After standing in the corner in a contemplative state Bob retreated to the kitchen on his birthday bash and took comfort in the blamange, Vol au Vents and sponge cake while Dylan played his guitars and the band bashed out Dylan James' hit songs.

Then order was restored, the jamming continued until the wee small hours, Bob resumed his position with the band, the volume was turned up, including a resounding bass line from Bruce and energy was running high; playtime ended with grating distortion from Rob's Mandolin as he rammed it up against the speaker while Bob on rythm was hitting the speaker with his guitar, Mike was rocking on the sofa and beaming Barry bashing the drum kit in the corner of the living room while a collection of friends and groupies were by then horizontal by the fireside blissed out with the music.
