CARL VERHEYEN - Support gig

You know i was telling you about doing a few special gig? This is at the Unicorn in Camden - The legend that is Twang "After a meeting in a car park at Midnight, both wearing trench coats and using code words like, 'The Aardvark's head 

is tilted to the left'. 'Yes it can see better whilst frying bacon'. (One cannot be too careful these days) I am extremely happy to announce that I have managed to persuade MATT STEVENS out of Solo retirement to recreate the STUNNING CELEBR8 show with some brand new material! And I can tell you that it's FREE ENTRY!!!

So see you there ;-) Feel free to quote the 'Password' on entry. :-)"

Kingston upon Thames, UK

This event was organised by 2 legends of prog Geoff Bands and Twang (not Twig). Well done for an amazing event. Incredible stuff. 

I brought my own road crew:

I was playing last on the Acoustic Stage - kind of a "bar bit" round the back of the main stage. The Hippodrome is a massive nightclub. Bits smell of sick. Most of it was OK :) 

The audience reaction was remarkable - i even did Get Carter as an encore! They were clapping along!

Honestly, it was amazing. Great crowd. Compact and select, the best of the best people there :)

All the bands on the main stage i managed to catch were good (when not setting up my stuff etc). Was great to chat to all the people in the bands back stage - everyone was nice, to be fair, very realistic about the nature of what we do, no rock star egos. 

Met up with lots of people who have supported my career in music, shook a lot of hands. I am so pleased to be part of this community. You lovely people.

Back again. I seemed to be playing first this time :) 

And it's on Video: 

Between playing i heard a bit of Dec Burke's set, those guitar  parts are mental - harmonised widdle genius :) 

Tinyfish were great, their final electric gig. Emotional. Lovely people. 

Then it was all over. 

My friend Kerry from the US did a Greys tune. I love the Greys :) 

So I'm cutting back on solo gigs to get Fierce And The Dead going. More solo stuff. Next year.....

Recording a couple of solo tracks soon thou :)
