The First Show at the Hard Days NightThe try out show for the HDN was a great success with most of the logistical issues sorted out. For those who were there, I'm sure you will agree that the atmosphere was fantastic. The acoustics of the room are fabulous, which meant that all the bands sounded absolutely amazing. Tempest began the night and ripped through their extensive repertoire, the highlight being Bad Case of Lovin You which features on their new CD available here. Tempest gave way to Liverpool's Mr "Rock N Roll" Piano Mike Byrne who took us back to the fifties with a raft of Jerry Lee Lewis rockers. It was then over to The Shakers playing for over an hour with their new line up who were in a word ........SENSATIONAL. It just reminded me of the Iron Door Club which I always preferred to the Cavern. I was in Hari's Bar when they broke into "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and I gotta tell you....shivers down the spine.....who said the Beatles would never play live again!!!!!!!. Some light relief was offered in the form of an impromptu Jam Band consisting of yours truly Ambrose, Pat and Gary from Beat Club and Bobby from Tempest on Drums. Its not often I have to be cajoled on stage, but after the stress and trauma of organising the event, I was really not in shape to Bop, which showed with an interesting introduction to Need Your Love So Bad, fortunately, Good Ole Chuck Berry rescued me and a serious bit of bopping ensued . The night closed off with a great set from the Amazing Paul Kappa who took an hour to extract himself from another city centre gig just down the road. He didn't disappoint with another electric performance. Phew!!, in all the excitement we all forgot our cameras, so you will have to take my word for it....It was a Hard Days Night All Over Again....and we've only just begun. I managed one grainy shot on my cellphone of the Shakers and here it is...
