ABOUT THE BAND
In the beginning
there was a duo called Fireball. The duo played around the UK at venues
ranging from WM Clubs to Rock nights. Two years on the road playing WM clubs
is enough for any man to take. The same old thing week in, week out (you
know the game) ‘Your sitting in my seat’ or ’hot pies
ave come’ or who’s for ‘Bingo’. The only good thing
going for it was the cheap beer, which was obviously thrown down the neck
at a high rate of knots. This has certain effects on the grey matter, which
deteriorates at an alarming rate. The duo in question now with lack of brain
cells decided enough was enough, lets start a rock band one said. The said
band became very popular for the performances and were invited to play in
Daytona, Florida at the Harley Davidson Bike weeks and Biketoberfests, which
take place every year when the moon is full. Anyone ever attending one of
those gigs will know what I mean 650,000 bikers from around the world converge
to look at bikes, ride them, to drink and last of all to watch bands and
girls play! This is entertainment, the boys think.lets do it. From then
on the band took off and has since gigged around the U.K. as well
as foreign shores and are hoping to carry on for many moons yet.
When
in the states had to perform at the venues for four hours at a time, hence
the extensive set list. Bit rough on the old throat but the free beers help.
After a change in line up in October 2004, Fireball was born. Still bashing
out rock from Ozzie to AC/DC, from Bad Co to Free, Led Zep and many others.
Now a three piece the sound has not changed from the rock we all know and
love, Tex on guitar has brought a whole new feel to the band with his superb
style. Gregg on drums is as dynamic as ever; his drum solos are legendary. .
although the band ain't been to the States for a couple of years we still
have a lot o friends over there and hopefully will get over
at some point in the future to play a few gigs...
many thanks to Jean -the egg butty queen.
