Leigh's Mad World Of Guitars. In which Leigh, and his guitars, inhabit a mad world. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. And red mutant eyes gaze down on Hunger City'. On Friday, and starting then I've got 3 gigs in 3 days with 3 different bands. I realise that for most people that would not constitute a reasonable way to celebrate such an event, but you won't be surprised to hear that it fits the bill just fine for me. The Upper Cut. On the day itself, the next night Big Al and the Blistering Buicks. Followed by a...

Leigh's Mad World Of Guitars. In which Leigh, and his guitars, inhabit a mad world. Monday, June 22, 2015. Beautiful Nights in December, busy nights (and days) in June. After a relatively quiet few days the busy times are back, as with one of the Balcony Shirts. But I'm also going to play an acoustic set with Noel Martin from Menace. At The Rebellion Festival. In August. All this (ahem! Frenzied activity (by my standards! Means that there's precious little time for blogging. Blow the roof off The 100 Club.

Well, it was a few days ago - I spent much of it asleep thanks to re-occurring I-thought-I'd-shaken-it-off-by-now manflu. Which I'm still trying to get rid of now. It's getting a bit. boring. still I've managed to keep gigging through the holiday (yes I know, that's probably why I'm still ill! Starting with a Christmas Eve. The next...

And Ye Olde George. With Big Al Reed. And The Blistering Buicks. Is deceptively difficult I can tell you! Who I've...

Leigh's Mad World Of Guitars: May 2015
http://leighheggarty.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Leigh's Mad World Of Guitars. In which Leigh, and his guitars, inhabit a mad world. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Colin Dredd, bass player with The Newtown Neurotics. Died last week. I saw The Neurotics (as they were also known) play many times and our group The Price. Shared the bill with them on quite a few occasions - their uncompromising left wing. Stance ensured that (a) they achieved virtually no mainstream recognition as the terror of the Thatcher. Died after a long battle. And The Blistering Buicks.

With Dave the drummer elsewhere Howard. It was that ...

Leigh's Mad World Of Guitars. In which Leigh, and his guitars, inhabit a mad world. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Everybody's carrying a gun. Well I don't mind admitting that I've not felt great today - possibly as a result of 4 late nights in a row, possibly as a result of what I've been doing during those late nights, more likely due to combination of both. I knew Friday, Saturday and Sunday were going to take their toll but after a very busy day in the shop. Yesterday I went down to RnR Studios. But I thin...
