Gathering Part 2 (Electric)

The Saturday evening of the Gathering at the The Arena, Venue Cymru, Llandudno, N Wales was excellent. The evening started with the support band Westway led by original Alarm bassist Eddie Mcdonald who play (For charitable reasons only) music of the Clash which got the audience in the right mood for the main event Mr Mike Peters & Co.

Brilliant apart from the fact that four hours of standing on a concrete floor plays havoc with the Pieman and his highly toned physique! New Tunes, Old Tunes and lots of noise. One the highlights was the move to acoustic stage in the middle of the set and some fine tunes therein. The liquid refreshment was overpriced as usual but the venue is very good and the parking excellent. No sign of theTrain driver and apologises to the Viking on the rock during the performance of " The Rock".
