'The Real Me'
Not the greatest quality visually, but it was a nice reminder of the day as it was the first gig ever for The Wholigans in Newcastle, which is Barry's (lead singer) hometown.
Barry emigrated to Canada from Newcastle in 1980, so this was a great homecoming.
That was a strange week leading up to that gig,first the airlines lost our bassist Dave's luggage so he had zero clothes that week and had to borrow everything, and we also blew up 6 or 7 HIWATT amps leading up to this.
Hiwatt helped us out big time with repairs but as some of you may notice we have Marshall amps here,which we had to literally beg the local music store and friends to borrow that night.
We survived 'barely' by the skin of our teeth! :\
The Wholigans the worlds first & longest running WHO tribute band since 1982.
