After the deep disappointment, regarding The Blue Rooms’ unspecified cancellation of the Fred Zep/Hammer gig (for April 23rd), earlier in the week, Hammer dusted themselves down and played their first gig of 2010…
… And the gig at Karlo’s on Saturday, April 17th … was an absolute blast!
Even despite the sparse but very appreciative crowd watching us kick off the evening, we hit the ground running and gave it maximum ‘oh be joyful’. The ‘old faithfuls’ felt like they had a punch that had been slightly lacking over recent years, and the airing of the sole newbie track, “Clouds”, went down really damn well.
In view of the recent events, surrounding the whole previously mentioned Blue Rooms cancellation, it seemed only fitting to close the set with Led Zep’s awesome chestnut “Rock & Roll”, too! … And suffice to say, it was an absolute pleasure to share the boards with DERAILED and Marzipan Moon, also ; both bands put their best foot forward, played some sublime stuff and made the night a very fond one for us.
Man! ; It’s good to be back! 😉
Next stop for us is the Dubs @ The Farm VW Fest, on May 1st, in Shropshire!
