Last nights Leadfoot gig for Help for Heroes and The MS Society went down a storm. The cigar box genre and ethos was eaten up by all present with loads of questions regarding the guitars and suitcase drum. The Landlord tried to re-book us on the spot for tonight!

I personally had a blast belting out the Leadfoot grit & gravel rock blues live along with Fast Fingers Kev "The Bass"ment Dore. For a couple of the tracks a new face called Beetroot Steve joined in rocking out on his harp using my smojo harmonica mic!

Our next official outing has been booked for 3rd June at the Burgoyne Heights Community Center, Dover. We are kicking off the evenings entertainment at 19:30 in celebration of the Queens Diamond Jubilee. Entry is free for any locals on here wishing to turn up. Leadfoot T will be doing a 45 min set before handing over to a Rock covers band - Lost Patrol. If you want to come along all you need to bring is your own booze and grub.

I've posted a video of last night called Gamblin Man - feel free to check it out and comment. Once the final figure has been counted for the money raised I'll update you!

All the best,

Lead

Cheers Keith - it was great to see you and the family at the gig. Thanks for all your support - it was a blast! 425 quid raised for Help for Heroes so well worth the effort! Hope to catch again soon.
