Hi Dave

The Flying Tigers is fromted by Adam Russel (no relation only 1 L)

Adam and I have been mates a long, long time.
We used to be on the dole together in poorer times. Wink

They are still gigging and can be found in the Surrey Ad gig guide.
A great fun blues band.

Props to Adam.
Come and see us on the 16th June at the White Lyon. You may even meet up with Adam.

Rob

Thanks for the prompt reply, I know Adam well, often "roadie" for him. Great act if sometimes a bit over the top Shocked

I'll make sure that we both will be at the White Lyon in June.

It's David Tilley not John that I know AKA Charmans/Banyards Farms, mind you seeing the list on Soapbox Trust, Adrian was my Solicitor for years and have known him and Jill (she used to Teach me RE at Glebelands Crying or Very sad

) for many years. Stuart Barbour used to live in the same village as me and I followed ATF all over the country all those years ago Embarassed

, lost count of how mant concerts I saw them. The best must be Greenbelt 199? when they headlined Sat. night

Hi Dave

You must know me then.
I went to a lot of ATF gigs of course and supported them at the Marquie club for 2 nights with Rob & the Rustlers.
Also did greenbelt with John in Press Any Key. (We were rubbish but we did laser love as a nod to johns past)
I used to get mistaken for John all the time. Even at GB 2004 people were calling me John. Rolling Eyes

Bang! Bang! are very different to ATF with one exception that we are fairly old boys and been at it a long time. Cool

We do a couple of PAK tunes live. "Information" and "Living on the Edge" from the PAK album. We also do a track of my solo Gospel CD which John produced.
Come and say hello. Very Happy

Cheers Rob

Rob,
Adams on holiday at the moment, left a message on his voicemail.

I haven't been to Greenbelt for years, just don't seem to have the time with work and everything else I seem to get involved with (mainly Explorer Scouts). Must make a effort somewhen.
