Off to see Albert tonight....

[Purple ASS]

Looking forward to seeing AL tonight for the first time since he broke his arm. This date was postponed from May ! Really hoping he does a load of stuff of the new 'Like This' album, produced by Elio Pace who is also the keyboard player with AL and Hogans Heroes. Elio is a great addition to the line up. I understand they added a horn section for a couple of gigs recently...now that would have been a gig to see !!

... ellio is one hell of an acquisition to the band - really nice guy to talk to.

I also would love to see Al someday. Please post pics if you can get some.

I'm going to see Luke tomorrow night and I'm pumped. Like Albert, his playing is amazing!
These guys are freekin' miles ahead of me in ability.

Well as you would expect....Albert was on fire last night !!.. loads of new material from the new album 'Loke This' which I reckon is his best yet. Elio on piano was equally brilliant. Second time I've seen Al since Elio joined and he's obviously had a lot of input into the choice and writing of new material, a real entertainer with a great voice too.

I took a couple of long distance photos and a couple of movie clips off my pocket camera which have come out surprisingly well (well sound anyway ) which I will put up later if anyone wants to see.

Venue Hailsham Pavillion, East Sussex Spud. Nice 200 seater renovated cinema/theatre, very cosy.

Finished the evening watching my mate KevinUK who joined the forum (recently after I managed to convert him to EBMM ) with his recently accquired Emerald Green ASS, so all in all a great evening all round and only three pints of sparkling water and a couple of black coffee's past my lips..

Works for me

Sounds like a good time. I'm still waiting to get a chance to see AL live.

Thanks.

I gotta say that we had really bad seats. Front row, right hand side, looking straight up at AL's keyboard and couldn't see his guitar at all while he was playing, but we were right in front of his Fender Tonemaster and 4x12 and the sound was just freakking awesome, fat and warm like I've never really noticed before. We went and stood at the back for the second set so we could see him play but lost the tone a bit.
