It's no great secret that The Journeymen are big favourites at The District and it was pleasing to see another decent crowd turn out for the band.

Once again the boys reaffirmed their reputation as one of Wales's most talented covers bands with two blistering sets of power, peerless musicianship and raw blues which this time included an acoustic introduction to the second half - Gallows Pole by the mighty Zepp.

I'm pleased to say that my memory gets a little hazy after that ( well I'm allowed to enjoy myself too !) but I know that Leighton performed a rousing version of Sabre Dance as well as  featuring Phil's magnum opus (or is that magnificent octopus ?) The Immigrant Song. While I'm waxing lyrical about the band it would be a bit remiss of me if I didn't mention the rythym section who hold the whole shebang together with consummate skill and no little style.

I know that the band love playing our little club and I'm sure it won't be too long before our paths cross again. Watch this space.

Once again I'm indebted to Glow from the South Wales Bands website for allowing me to nick a few photos from her excellent website. Most of the images seem to be in focus this week , so I would imagine that our Rum sales are down.

Also great to see Tony Carpenter putting in an appearance after his recent "pull". Take it easy for a little while buddy and you'll soon be back to your boisterous best.
