 A word from David Hackshall We hold a monthly event dubbed "Lazee Sunday Afternoon" at Stadium Harley Davidson - usually we have 2 - 3 hundred people with us throughout the day, we lay on a free BBQ and Beer (within reason!). Andy Lee and the Bluecats have become a large part of these events, 
their blend of Harmonica driven Blues,and Mississippi rhythm blends
perfectly into the Harley Davidson lifestyle. Our Harley Davidson Owners Group (HOG) always make a particular note to see when Andy and his band are appearing with us next. They are fast becoming part of the attraction of our Lazee Sunday Afternoon. David Hackshall |

BLUES
'N' BIKES
BLUECATS AT HARLEY STADIUM |
|
The mixture of Blues, beer and bikes has always
been a very good mixture as far as the Essex Harley Owners Group are
concerned. This club meet most certainly had a different slant on the
usual affair. The
morning in question had started off cooler than the rest of the week
and rain had been forecast later in the day, most of the club members
deciding they would`nt chance their arm with a ride out in unpredictable
British weather, deciding instead to meet at the Stadium.When the Bluecats
arrived at 12 o`clock there was already 400 plus bikes already there.

The
place was heaving,and as if by magic the sky cleared and the temperature
soared it was gonna be hot-un. The Stadium ,for those of you who have
never been inside is a lot bigger than you would think, the only sinario
I can think of is Dr Who`s Tardis (a British Sci-fi series with D.I.Y
monsters).As big as it is ,when the band arrived there were so many
people there was`nt room to even set up. David
Hackshall had really gone to town this time,with all his business trips
to the States some of the Americanism`s are certainly rubbing off.Outside the front of the Stadium was one of those Bucking Bronco thangs, you know the sort of thing that whizzes round faster and faster gyrating and spinning,bobbing and weaving with ever increasing speed, until it removes the offending human from it`s back. The compare, I must say was excellent encouraging everyone to get up and have a go adults and children a like. To keep the Wild west theme gong members were encouraged to dress up as cowboys-cowgirls. No one needed to ask them twice. Stetsons ,boots, guns,holsters with bullets, and that John Wayne swagger and all they needed was the line dancing -------- I don`t think so. Needless to say the beer and food was in good supply and the day was hot and long, it didn`t want to end. The Bluecats played on with their usual professional enthusiasm to a very happy crowd. A good day was had by one and all. |

Gigging
regularly can create it’s own problems, especially when your
instrument gives up in the middle of an important number. By
chance I was bought a Suzuki harp five years ago (as a present)
and with all honesty I haven`t looked back. I was not only impressed
by the way it looked and felt, but the best advantage is that
it is made to last for years - not months and has a rich, full
bodied sound - essential for the professional harp player. A.L
