HW Space Ritual

[Ian Abrahams]

Bernhard,
 
Honestly, I think you've really missed the point here... a live gig is a live gig, it's for the people who turn up and enjoy the event - which I know people who attended did enjoy... so that's the context of the show and it was a fantastic event and, really, 'end of story'. Great to get a show to listen to afterwards but that's always out of context.
 
It wasn't 'crap'... it just wasn't... sorry!
 
You say it didn't work for you and other people... you weren't there! It wasn't assembled to be picked over on a bootleg, it was put on for people to go and get a buzz from on the day... please, context, always context!  :)
 
Ian

Hi there !!

I believe that you and the others wanted to do the best.
I also believe that the band and the folks had lot of fun. 

As I mentioned before most people on stage are great musicians and friedly
folks

But unfortunately the output was crap.

I am sorry to say this.
Have listend to the recording a couple of times and it doesn't get better.

It was indeed an unrehearsed performance.

A big party for the great ROB CALVERT.
I am sorry that it musically did not work (for me and lot of fans I know)

regards
Bernhard

ha ha ha

 the only hope for this gig is if judge trev plays his tribute song
"starfighter",  for bob calvert,  before hawklords take the stage
because it
is bobs absence which will be the most noticeable

and surely you saw me at herne bay bernhard, didn't you feel the power
...the truth...didn't i induce a state of self-trancendence...didn't it
change your life forever

actually the herne bay line up was good, much better than usual



judge trev
