The J45s

Tomorrow,  we return to The Royal British Legion Club in Hanworth for  Remembrance  Sunday with ‘Men Behaving Sadly ’, which will be a special afternoon.

Band on at 2pm. 
Looking forward to it.

This Saturday, The J45s are heading back to The Mad Squirrel in Amersham for a special Halloween Party! 
Expect Beer Pong battles, spooky Halloween cocktails, and a costume contest!

The band has been told not to bother with costumes… apparently, we’re scary enough as we are!
See you there if you dare! 

This Saturday, 17th October, I’m back with The J45s, taking to the stage at the family-friendly RBL venue in Greenford.

Getting the gear up the stairs behind the stage can be a bit tricky, but fortunately we have some helpful venue volunteers to lend a hand with the heavy stuff!

We kick off at 8:45 pm and will do our best to keep cool on the air-conditioned stage.

Everyone’s welcome,  members and non-members alike! Hope to see you there.

Tonight, I have a momentous journey ahead as we're off to The Hollybush in Hampshire to perform
This time, I’ll be using the Dual Terror amp top, as the larger Orange head has now been retired.
No doubt be back home in the early hours, absolutely cream-crackered!

Tonight I’m performing with The J45s again at the Double 7 Club near Redhill.

I’ve been told that this venue is a real gem for live bands and is well worth checking out.

The doctors have also given me the go-ahead to play guitar behind my head! 🎸😎

Should be a great night!

This Saturday, The J45s will be performing with a couple of ‘Men Behaving’ Sadly lads at the friendly Pear Tree Tavern in Purley. Russel on vocals and Grinner on drums
Lots of energy;, we really enjoy playing with these guys!

We’re on stage from 8:30pm. 
Hope to see some of you there!

Bit of a buzz last night performing with The J45s at the historic Bulstrode in Hounslow.
We had a few guest vocalists, including Pippa, Andy, and Lamb Bristow, whose voice certainly packs a punch despite her size!
Highly recommend the Indian food too, where the naan breads are the size of continental quilts!
BTW, the sunglasses are more about hiding the wound from the eye operation I had on Monday than pulling off the rock-star pose.

One of the most enjoyable gigs we've played was at The Mad Squirrel Festival in Amersham. We also had great support from the talented solo singer/guitarist Nic Bennett.
It was lovely to have Anne and friends there, and I was pleasantly surprised to bump into my old friends from Norway, Tom Dreyer, and Kari.
Pippa joined us on stage and was in fine voice.
During the encore, we launched into Hey Joe, where I did the obligatory guitar solo behind my neck. Unfortunately, all of my strings went out of tune halfway through, but I carried on regardless. The solo ended up sounding more like an accidental Hungarian minor scale experiment than Hendrix!
A young lad came up to me afterwards to compliment me on the solo. I had to confess that I'd broken a string, which had thrown the guitar out of tune.
Thanks to Linda and Anne for the photos that captured the day

The J45s take to the stage at 5:00pm! 

We'll be joined by Nic Bennett, with DJ Panda rounding off the celebrations later in the evening.

Come along and celebrate summer with a fantastic day of live music, great vibes, plenty of beer (of course!), delicious new cocktails, pizza, a BBQ, and a special birthday celebration.

It's set to be a brilliant day so we'd love to see you there
