First on stage were D-Minor - www.myspace.com/dminorband - featuring Ben Ditchfield - Lead Guitar, Backing Vox, Farris Roshambo – Drums, Zakk Hollis – Bass, Lewis Wardle - Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, with five tracks including Human Machine, Heart of Coal, a cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s Crazy Train and Why Are We Made? Throughout, Zac’s bass was excellent, Farris’s drumming was both powerful and energetic and within the guitar work there were excellent sustained chords interspersed with periods of intricacy, which amply demonstrated considerable individual talent. The ‘acoustic’ finale to the final track was inspired, and for me, was the highlight of their set, which was well received by an appreciative audience.

HERRROOOOO fellow Minorions.

As some of you may know, we had our last gig with Sam (vocals) and Mike (bass) on October 2nd, 2008, and for a while, we went a bit idle. But since then, we have recruited Zakk Hollis (bass) and Wis Wardle (Vocals and rhythm guitar), and have started writing some new songs, letting go of some of the old ones.

So now, the line up is:

Drums - Farris
Lead guitar - Ben
Bass - Zakk
Vocals/Rhythm Guitar - Wis


We will be playing some local gigs in due time, and some private ones for the sake of improving on stage performance. Its all good (:

About Keep The Beat, which should of been held in the playing fields of Shotton Sports Center and social club. Although the news paper article in page 3 of the Evening Leader states that it will be on this saturday, sadly, it is not. This is for 2 reasons: 1) as Keep The Beat only had 2 weeks too orginise the new location (thanks too the idiots at Horticulture college), KTB can not get the license too play there soon enough, and 2) Deecat had arranged it too be on the same day, which will lose money towards the charity event.

So, Keep the Beat will be held in EITHER 2 weeks time, or sometime in September. We will keep everybody updated on the issue.

But you must come, as All or most of the money raised Will go towards the British Heart Foundation. The bands playing will be Severenth, D-Minor (us lol), Return To Sender, Cal Roberts, Resound and Stolen Volume. The event will also include family events such as Fire eating. juggling, face painting, rides and a bouncy castle. The day may also include a bar (WOOP) and a barbecue, serving food and drink throughout the day. Admission will be £5, but free too under 14's and over 65's.

This will be one of the biggest gigs in Flintshire this year.

Thank you taking the time too read this, and keep your eye's peeled for more information.
