This is another night that a little vague in the memory. I know that most of you think that I can do with missing the odd meal or two but Friday was particularly manic in work and between having to attend meetings in Swindon, Ross-on-Wye and Swansea I didn't get a morsel to eat all day (apart from a few bananas). Throwing a substantial quantity of alcohol down my throat was in hindsight a very bad idea.

Vintage Rebels played an enjoyable set peppered with a few classic rock obscurities and familiar standards. The band proved themselves to be one of the more musically able classic rock bands that we've entertained with a frontman who looks and sounds the part. Maybe a there's a few people out there who've got a less blurred memory of the tracks that the band performed. I do remember registering a version of Magnum's Storytellers Night (probably the first ever Magnum cover at The District ?)

From what I can remember of the latter stages of the evening , the band received a positive response and the dancefloor was suitably busy. Good sized crowd too.. keep it up !

 

Absolutely Brilliant. The best night in the District in ages for me.
I loved the rendition of storytellers night and also Hollywood nights and the classic Jefferson Starship track Jane. Great to hear old classics not normally covered. Hope they get re-booked as I don't recall a single Duff track, granted several pints of Magners could have dulled my senses but I still had an enjoyable night either way.

An excellent classic rock covers band, but i would have enjoyed them more if the mix had been better.
Question........ Did this band get there early enough to have a proper sound check?

Reason why i ask: Poor drum sound all night; no guitar could be heard on 'Trampled Underfoot'

Jeff / Steve

Glad you both enjoyed the band. I'm sure we'll see them back next year.

Steve - the mix wasn't great I know. They did get a very quick soundcheck and there were reasons for the drums being lowdown in the mix and the erractic guitar volume. I'd rather not go into it in an open forum but give me a nudge next time we see each other and I'll put you in the picture.
