Sink Or Swim

And here's Oli and Jordan with the rest of their band, Sink Or Swim, at their gig at The Hop Pole on Saturday.

Trainee Badgers

Introducing Oli Badger and Jordan Badger, our trusty road crew!

CTRL C

Here's AB with CTRL C after their great performance at last Thursday's Acoustic Addiction double-header.

The Longshanks

At The Boot in Nantwich as part of their bank holiday weekend music extravaganza. A fantastic band. Go see 'em.

Millstone Rocks Festival

DD and Nick opened the three day Millstone Rock Festival in Golbourne today. Here's AB contemplating the stage before the gates opened.

Prouder

At Square One for their Unsigned slot. It's Proud Proud People. The full 7 piece this time, complete with brass section. Nick and the baby badgers put in the big rig for this one too ( as Stunt Oli will testify!). Here's AB with the brass section.

Breakfast At Wetherspoons

Back at The Imp for a great evening of music, humour and parody. A double-header gig; first on, from Loughborough, Harry & Trev who we met at last year's Whitwick Festival. Brilliant!

Then, our friends CTRL C. Equally brilliant! Here's AB watching H&T. A pic of CTRL C in due course...

Snakey Pete

AB is having a look at the new book about the life and times of Crewe's very own blues legend, Pete Johnson.

Hello Badgers!

This looks a bit spooky, but AB is just showing his support for a breast cancer awareness campaign!

Home Time

Day Four at V. Time to tidy up and go home. What a great weekend!

The Pierces

Still at V. The Pierces. I know the pic's a bit dark, but I'm no Jaydot!

Up The Junction

Day Two at V. Here's AB watching Squeeze.

V - Day One

At V Festival in the sunshine. AB's having a beer and enjoying the vibe!

Lee's Rehearsal Room

A quick Foulplay rehearsal tonight before team Badger head of to V festival in the morning. Here's AB with the practice amps...

Not Long Now!

V Festival this weekend!! Woohoo!

The Planet Of The Badgers

We went to the cinema to watch The Planet Of The Apes. AB thought that the storyline could do with a minor tweak!

Happy Birthday Mat!

It's Mat Badger's birthday tomorrow and Abby has baked him a cake! AB thinks it's delicious!

There is a house in New Orleans

The Rising Sun for Sunday lunch, Very civilised! And they let badgers in...

Zeketastic!

Slug at The Imp. A good night; we put in the big PA for Zeke and the boys. The crowd was lacking, but never mind!

An Irishman, a Scotsman and a badger

No, it's not the start of a poor joke, it's AB with Scottish Chris and Blue at tonight's Foulplay show!

Inuendo. Well, two of them anyway!

Acoustic Addiction #11 @ The Imp. Adam and Gro from Inuendo played a great set!

Dantes. The End Of An Era.

Local rock and metal club Dantes has sadly closed it's doors for the last time. We liked it there...

Tent

One of the worst things about festivals is putting the tent away afterwards! AB is struggling to fold the tent up after Cloud 9. Luckily Mat Badger is back from the USA so he's helping to sort it out. AB says that he's leaving the "****ing tent" at V in a couple of weeks time!

Shifty

Wandered over to RedShift Towers this afternoon to see Busy Lizzie and Dr Gav. Here's AB outside with the RedShift Van.

60%

A duvet day after yesterday's excesses at Cloud 9 Festival! Here's a pic of AB with 3/5 of Sheena Bratt's Bratt Pack taken at the festival. Mr Paul Turner (of Gambler) is on the kit, but hidden from view and Nick Badger is hidden stage left.

Cloud 9 Festival

At Cloud 9 Festival today. Nick guested with Sheena Bratt and the Bratt Pack. A great day was had by all! Here's AB checking out the main stage in the arena before the gates opened.

Music Shops of Crewe #3

Last, but not least - Merben Music on Hightown...

Music Shops of Crewe #2

R&B Music on Nanny Road. Used to be owned by Reg Banks who moved the shop from Stoke. Reg is a top bloke, last seen at Crewe Alex...

Music Shops of Crewe #1

Pete Johnson's (aka Snakey Jake's) Custom Amplification. Used to be on Nantwich Road, years ago, now on Eggy Road. A great shop, and a great bloke!

Barn

Here's AB in a barn! We had a rehearsal with Sheena and her band ahead of Saturday's performance in the Headculture tent at Cloud 9 Festival.

Festival TIme Again!

AB is excited. It's festival time again this weekend!

We're going to Cloud 9 Festival where Nick is playing a set in the Headculture tent with Sheena Bratt and her band.

AB is checking out the line-up on the website...
