Hi everyone ,sorry its been awhile since the last report,cant believe august will soon be upon us and we will be heading off to Kempen ,Belgium Harley rally ,will look forward to the Essex Harley guys and gals who will be attending and of course all the other Harley guys and gals from the other European clubs so hope to have a chat before and after the show !!,

we played are last gig at the Royal Oak last night with Fred as the landlord as he will be leaving shortly ,I have known Fred for a very long time so I wouldn't be at all surprised if we will be playing at another pub of his sometime in the future,it really was a brilliant night and great to see some old faces and some new ones as well !! ,the gastric band really stretched themselves last night !!! lol, we have been told the gigs that are booked for this year are still going ahead,and of course Fred will be turning up for a guest spot occasionally so be warned his charm, talent, and charisma will knock you dead !!,we are picking up more gigs at different venues which is good considering the the amount of pubs that are closing or are having to stop having live music,so please check the venues before you attend in case the gigs are cancelled .

You will  often hear our tracks played on Dennis Brays blues show 9.00 pm -10.00 pm on Wayland radio 107.3 or online www.waylandradio.com, you can drop him a line during the show to request a song ,

Thanks very much to all you out there for coming to see us and all your kind comments after the show it really is very touching and appreciated !!, We will soon have some more cd's available,well I'm going to sign off now hope to see you all soon keep rockin and stay healthy love and peace from the THE Dr  and His Gastric Band !!!
