Suzie Did It & so did Dayve!

In our year and a half or so of BY-action (oh er Mrs!) we've played some really cool places and events, but sometimes things really surprise you (again!)... an unpre-supposing & ancient watering hole in Cheshire, great company, lovely atmosphere thanks to the fab folks who came along and simply wonderful songwriting and performances in the form our special guests & friends in the form of Suzie Does It , Dayve Dean and Dan Logan on percussion for Dayve, pre-empting a time when we'll all be at Glasto and there will be copy-bands called The Be-Wise, Suzie Does I.T. and Dave Dene or something ;) Thanks to Mr Tim Lee for the Photos (Top, BYS, Middle Suzie Does It).

A Review

Well it's one person's view, one day I'll put together all the people we've been compared to in some sort of format.

The 21st Middlewich Boat and Folk Festival!

Friday, June 17th, 2011; The Big Lock, Middlewich

10.30 - Late The BlueYellows

9.45 - 10.30 Phil Maddocks

9.00 - 9.45 Dayve Dean
8.15 - 9.00 Liz & Bob

I think it's safe to say this is going to be a great, great night. Middlewich is always great, superb performers. Probably a few suprises too ;)

I'm pictured here with Hayley Strangelove, a superb singer who is also performing several times over the weekend!

Unsung Heroes and Samurai Swords

Behind every on-stage performance and hours of writing, rehearsing, travelling, equipment buying preparing and loading is a whole rank of unsung heroes who never get their moment under the stage lights including family, babysitters, partners and helpers plus this one; Emma's own Vincent, which doubles as the band van (see interior shot, partly loaded for a rehearsal). The live pic is from the weekend's Crewe Live 11 Festival (Thanks to The Duke for that one) which saw some great bands and artists perform all over the town and everyone seemed to enjoy (shorlty after our set there was a sudden and huge police presence which someone said was due to someone walking about brandishing a samurai sword, but all that was well, ended well thankfully!

Thanks to Abby and Angry... again!

Abby Wallis that is and The Angry Badgers for the ace photography and sound/lighting respectively, not to mention the free Badger badge, cheers guys! No thanks to my still-injured thumb which is not conducive to the old spanking of the proverbial plank!
