Glad you had a good time here: Sheffield is a good, solid, no-bullshit
city.
May I recommend to the list another Sheffield band - The Slingshots -
who, as it happens, just have a CD out.
They are an excellent trio who play 50's style rockabilly - some
covers (Carl Perkins, Johnny Burnette, Elvis, etc), and some of their
own stuff. The lead singer & rhythm guitarist Steve Russell, and the
very talented lead guitarist J D England, have in fact been
playing around town together since they came to Sheffield in the
early '80's as undergraduates. On bass is Graeme McElearney.
Some of their original numbers - say, 'Steamhammer Jones', and 'The
Pain Has Gone' - are pretty damn good. The latter in particular
features some nice guitar work by J D.
The CD - 'Feels So Right' - is on the Raucous label, RAUCD 040. In
the States it should be available through Hepcat.
