Buzzard’s Easter weekend

I’m very pleased to report that Buzzard’s show at ‘The Chestnut Tree’, Sherwood last night was received exceptionally well and the lads enjoyed getting back to playing again after Keith’s unfortunate wrist injury.

The Easter holiday weekend is looming and the lads have two shows booked for then.  The first is at the ‘Coach & Horses’ in Draycott near Long Eaton next Friday the 2nd. April.  This is going to quite a special show for Buzzard as my good Friend Paul Bednall is hoping to capture the band on video and get some audible recordings to go on the recently created Buzzard ‘MySpace’ site:   http://www.myspace.com/buzzard_rock   Thanks to Paul Bednall for all the work on producing a great site to compliment the main Buzzard site.

Please come down and give your support for Nottingham’s finest Rock & Blues band.  Draycott can be reached quite easily and is situated on the main A6005 road between Long Eaton and Borrowash.  If you fancy a drink or two, there is an excellent bus service, ‘The Indigo’ that runs between Derby & Nottingham passing through Draycott until around 11.30.  See you there.

The second holiday weekend show is on the Saturday 3rd. April at ‘The Bridge Inn’, Bridge St. Cotmanhay, Ilkeston.  It is a charity event named ‘Songs For Tina’ in aid of raising funds for Tina, a local stroke victim.  The monies raised from the event will be used to send Tina on a much needed and long awaited holiday this year.

The event has been organised by Andy Richardson of Derby band ‘Mantis’ (formally ‘The Telephones’) who will also be kicking-off the proceedings around 4.15 in the afternoon.  Also on the bill are a talented bunch of young lads who go by the name of ‘Remand to Vegas’.  Following them is a another talented artist from Derby, Vannessa Vale of the band ‘Kumatage’ and of course our favourites Buzzard will hit the stage around 7.30.

Come and have great evening and see some brilliant bands.

*STOP PRESS*  I’ve just been informed that ‘Mantis’ are also going to be joining Buzzard on the bill at the ‘Coach & Horses’, Draycott on Friday 2nd. April so please get down a little earlier.  Jim’s lad Glen plays the drums for this band and they will be showcasing new songs along with earlier ‘Telephones’ classics.
