Well, we’ve certainly hit the ground running on this, our second week back from the summer jolls. And, trust us, we’ve started as we mean to go on!

Old favourites are given that moniker cos that’s exactly what they are – reliable venues that work with the band to create great synergy, time after time. Add to that a bunch of crazy beautiful people (vis-a-vis YOU lot!) and voila, you have a pukkah night out! Hence,  Norwich Waterfront was its’ usual glorious Lynott cause celebre; the jewel on the south coast Hampshire coastline that remains the Wedgwood Rooms could only be described as elating – even after all these years – and ‘new kid’ Real Time Live in Chesterfield is fast becoming a staple on any jobbing band’s roster worth their g-string and felt beaters.

But surely, special mention must be reserved for the spectacle, the event that was the gig at the Conkers Amphitheatre in Moira, Leics on the 13th of this month (year of our lord etc). Remember the reconstitution…the amalgam…the molecular rebinding..the re-alloyed alliance that conjoined Yours Truly with LIVEWIRE/DC, the greatest AC/DC tribute outside of the titular artistes themselves to present You, our beloved audience with ‘FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK’ parts I & II? Well, we once again reconstituted, amalgamated, coagulated etc, et al, to test-run, precurse and relaunch the gargantuan behemoth that will translate, transmute and transmogrify into:

‘FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK 2015: JAILBREAK’ (taa-freakin’-daa!)

Wayne and Ash about to rock…

Yup, it’s true, we are pleased and proud to announce the return of our favourite and most successful alliance for a tour that will run over March and April next year, taking in some of the countries best venues:

Even we wouldn’t be that vain as to label it the tribute event of the year but then again…show us one that promises to be even half as incendiary (and trust us, judging by the amount of pyro being stockpiled, something will burn!)? And it was you guys that asked for the return, so…THANK YOU!

Let there be pyro…

Worth a wink…

St Mary’s Social in Radcliffe, Lancs requested a gig from us, so we’re obliging them this Thursday 25th. A small, intimate affair always makes for a gritty performance, so if you really wanna see this outfit earn its’ two shillings. come on over! Limited ticket numbers on this one…Hessle Town Hall on the 26th is becoming an awesome annual gig for us, drawing on the Hull Lizzy following (the mighty Springhead from back in the day and latterly, Fruit), whilst the Blue Lounge in the Floral Pavilion Theatre in New Brighton continues to be a fantastic upgrade from the old Pacific Rd Arts Centre in Berrrrrkin’ead (that’s Birkenhead to you and me, squire!) on the 27th.

Our inaugural gig at The Grapes in Bury St Edmunds (2nd October) appears to be causing delightful controversy?! Many of those who attended our Norwich Waterfront gig earlier this month seemed to be making a beeline for the ticket office after first blinking at us in disbelief! Er…is there summink we should know here? Wot’evor – first come first served, that’s all we can tell ya…the Assembly in Leamington Spa (3/10) continues to be a fave rave – the Kim Kardashian of venues, it’s like playing in some kind of upmarket Bacchanalian blinged-out theatre! And the original trailer as used by Tammy Wynette (we kid you not!) in the changing room is unbefreakinlievable! Nottingham Rock City (4/10) should well and truly finish the job and see you off until our next cyberspace rendezvooo…

All of our shows down until Christmas can be found on our TOUR DATES page, so check ‘em out!

‘Til the next time….

Dudes! Dudettes! Limedawgs! Limettes! Homies! Ho...

Er, maybe we should stop there before we get punched! But, suffice to say that summer is well and truly ensconced in our fair land and let us tell ya, sittin' in the back of that van with your extremities gittin' poached like 2 boiled eggs in a hanky is NO way for grown men to carry themselves on. But as we love, cherish and adore yous, such is the cross we willingly bear...

Now then, GIGS...it's what we do. And by god's teeth, have we had some utter corkers along the way! It seems the hotter the gig, the hotter the band play! Take THE GARAGE in Swansea, for instance; whilst we love the big theatres, when you get a venue so small and intimate that you can almost hear the audience change their minds, well...you can run but you can't hide. Blistering gig, great audience interaction! And at newbie-but-awesome THE LEYTON INSTITUTE in Blackpool, they made the mistake of giving us...a runway? Well! The dubiously magnificent. if cumbersome sight of each of the 3 guitarists of Limehouse attempting a run-up and take-off surely will haunt many a punter for some time to come...and they did it again at COLCHESTER ARTS CENTRE! Tim 'Concorde' Read and Wayne 'Boeing' Ellis, permission to launch, please! Some folk never learn...sigh.

Now by the time this cyber-epistle reaches you, 2 beaut new gigs may have been and gone. But if not, on the 17th, NO.1 SHAKESPEARE STREET in the Bardlands of Stratford-Upon-Avon is a must for all those looking for a Cox's Yard replacement fix. And, weather permitting - which is currently looking almost a cert - the day after on the 18th will see us play an outdoor set in the courtyard of ALEXANDER'S LIVE in Chester. Bring ya own banger-fork, this promises to be such a hoot, with no wellies required!

If the weather holds out, one of our firm faves, BOOTLEGGERS in Kendal in the gorgeous Lake District could well turn out to be one of the sweetest gigs of the summer, especially if you make like Lizzy diehards (and good Limehouse mates) Ray & Teresa Alston, who are traveling all the way from Sudbury to spend a long weekend in the Lakes. That's how you do t'ings, peeps!

The south-west jewel in the crown remains THE WHARF in Tavistock, hip-swaying and sashaying in on the 1st August, closely followed by the utmost welcome return to THE FLEECE in Bristol on the 9th, who finally 'saw the light' and reinstated the rock tribs! So, normal service is resumed at one of our more raucous gigs over the years...

people out in Hollywood...live their lives out in black & white

Thanks to Becky Lewis for the piccy!

NEW GIGS:

The BUSHEY SPORTS & SOCIAL makes its' Laboutin-heeled shimmering entrance on the 2nd of August. The Horns in Watford isn't until the year end so we request your presence to  join us for our summer Watford-gap filler.

Bringing up the rear, the powerful but lithe RUSHDEN ATHLETIC CLUB in Rushden, Northants makes its' premiership debut on the 9th August.

Hullbridge Sports Club in Hullbridge, is The Only Way we'll Play Essex this summer on the 16th August

AND FINALLY...

Well actually, that bit about Essex is untrue. We're gonna two-time with the  return of an old flame in the shapely form of THE SQUARE in Harlow on the 16th August. Yeh, you read right - the return of The Square! Be there, or be...oh, it doesn't matter! 

But surely the blockbuster release of the summer HAS to be the reuniting of yours truly with Livewire/DC at THE CONKERS AMPHITHEATRE in Moira, S.Derbyshire to re-enact those mighty 'For Those About To Rock' double-headline tours! Over our 100 year tenure in this business, this has always remained one of the more explosive (literally!) highlights when the 2 acts lock horns. And in the beautiful natural setting of the Conkers Amphitheatre, this will be a nigh on perfect evening out for fans of Classic Rock.

It's summer. It's Thin Lizzy. You know you want to.
