Friday 16 November. And down at the Roman Bath Freeway are playing. Now we’ve seen these before and they were jolly good last time. They do classic rock covers and feature Howard the Drummer. They must have started around nine because I got there about a quarter past and they were already on ‘Wishing Well’. The evening was greatly enhanced by a few pints of John Smiths. Not that ‘brewed in Warrington’ nonsense, but a batch brewed back in Tadcaster using water from the artesian well beneath the brewery. That’s better!
Anyway, back to the band. As per last time they did a stonking set of covers, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Bad Co. Free, Iron Maiden, Thunder, AC/DC, and Queen. The highlight was in the second half when Livvy (that’s Howard’s daughter, the singer out of Breathing Space), was inveigled into singing to Led Zep’s ‘Rock n Roll’ and Howard did his drum solo in the middle. Also in the crowd, Mostly Brian was mostly hanging about and chatting with his mates.
If you want check out Freeway for yourself, they are currently booked to play the Roman Bath on Friday 30 November and Friday 21 December. I’ll definitely be there for 30 November; I have a date, with a lady!
