4 out of 7 Found the view helpful
| Standing 30 feet from the stage at Warick Castle, England we eagerly awaited the arrival of the main attraction, Bryan Adams. Warm up acts are mediocre to say the least. They might just get you tapping your toes or clapping your hands if you're lucky. But then something happened. 4 guys wandered into the limelight and gave what could have (should have) been a headlining act type of performance. They enjoyed what they were doing and it showed. Looking back, when i talk about that July day with the mate that went with me, we smile, then laugh out loud when we recall John Mcdaid climbing the rigs absolutely belting out song after song. And where did they get a mike lead that long so he could come off stage, into the crowd and perform like an out and out pro? We took our sampler discs home and by the time of the next B.A. gig we were ready... Yeah, that's right, i'm singing along to Better Life like it had been at the top of the charts for weeks and everybody should know it. I think the people stood around us wondered what the hell was going on... We didn't care, we were having fun. We knew who they were and we wanted everybody to know it too. But then what if they become really commercial and people buy their records just because Chri Moyles tells them too? that's not right, surely? But if no-one buys their album, ther will be no second album. Oh no, what now? Well, looks like there will be no second album because we have not heard from them since; in the UK at least. That's a shame, a big shame. They deserved a proper shot at the big time, but if John and they guys happen to read this then they will know that, really, their job is done because they touched my life and Vega 4 will always feature in the soundtrack to it. Thanks guys. |
