Great song here!
This is us playing this at the Intake Leisure club Mansfield Nottingham, this gig was called "Bandolier Bash" a get together of Budgie fans from the Budgie forum "Bandolier" that i'm a member of:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITWbjACXMfw
Simon Lees ex-budgie guitarist joined us for a jam at this gig on the encore that's on youtube. I also forgot to mention i've met Pete Boot, the drummer on In for The Kill, he came to watch us play the other year at a gig in Kettering but he's in a bad way as he has Parkinsons' desease.

As a footnote, I much prefer the Tony Bourge era stuff ie; 1971 until 1979. After Impeckable Budgie went more MWBHM. However if you like metal try Power Supply our guitarist's fave. if you like the classics, then go early than 1979.

I will try and get Bandolier soon. Thanks for introing me to them. I am loving the early tracks from the band on the compilation.
They are VERY raw sounding arn't they? The first one was done on a 4 track recorder apparently, the first couple of albums Budgie and Squawk were produced by Black Sabbath's producer Roger Bain I believe. They are all over Youtube so you can hear them.

Yeah! Bandolier is in my hands right now. I haven't even heard it yet. Here goes for first play after I finish this disappointing Sigur Ros album to review....

clarkpegasus, I missed somehow your original post. So what I posted in another thread better belongs here:

Hi and welcome to the forum. As you are from Germany, have you heard of a band called Lake? and if so do you like them? or am I the only one around here that does!
No you are not. You have not asked me, yet! I am a Lake fan.
They are from my hometown Hamburg, where I was born.
Great band. I would call it 'westcoast rock', in the style of
Eagles, The Little River Band and Crowded House. If you like Lake, check
out also the other artists from Hamburg: Elephant and Ian Cussick.
Ian Cussick (a bass player himself):
Elephant:
And for all others who do not know Lake with their great singer James Hopkins-Harrison, who passed away too early (R.I.P.)

Thanks for that Formentera Lady! I'm glad YOU are a fan as well. I didn't know they were from Hamburg I thought they were from Berlin. Yes if my memory serves me correctly, James H Harrison passed away about 1991. I LOVE the first 4 albums especially Lake 1st. The rare double live album is cracking as well. When they changed from CBS to Polydor records, they wern't as good I don't think, in fact I really don't like Voices or Hot Day. Between The Lines is a great track! check out Alex Conti's brill solo.
