pink rock 2009

Adverse Camber were delighted to be involved in Pink Rock 2009 at the Cross Keys Morley last Saturday 23rd May. Bands all day and lots of money raised for Breast Cancer charities. All organised by sue from One Fat Spider...some pics below tell the tale.

the name fifty/50 is no more

Since fifty/50 were formed in 2005 there are now only two original members left...myself and mick and since we both are involved in our newer project Adverse Camber all future gigs will go under the Adverse Camber name. Fifty /50 drummer Rockin' rick now reverting to his first love sound engineer/show co-ordinator/general slave driver with the new band. The "croation sensation" Anton Kolaric now takes up bass duties and Andy Mapplebeck plays drums in the slightly rockier incarnation.

Lots of gigs already in the diary for this year...see sidebar for full details.

gigs update

A few changes to our gig list updated today...see sidebar for details.

protect your ears

A recent report suggests that listening to loud music can stimulate hair growth , particularly in the ears. However, keen Adverse Camber fan Moosa Patel (pictured below) stated in his opinion there was nothing to be worried about.

andy's birthday bash

Last sunday saw all the members of adverse camber's new line up..........birthday boy andy mapplebeck above....

dave mountain...not new at all!!

mick hayward.......ditto

anton kolaric...very new!!

and a few friends convene at the Graziers for a shindig to celebrate our drummer andy's birthday. A jolly good time was had by all. The pub was packed to capacity and proceeded to bounce uncontrollably through two sets by adverse camber and John Kemp's solo acoustic set during the interval. The second of the two sets well overran our curfew and featured the afore said John Kemp on lead vocals in Born to be wild, a guest performance by Tracy McAlpine singing Valerie in Amy Winehouse stylee and an unforgettable show by rockin' Rick fronting the band to blast out Whole lotta rosie, She sells sanctuary and Message in a bottle....fantastic feelings to see friends old and new having a really good afternoon............enjoy the pics.

croatian sensation

All change in the bass playing department of Fifty-50. Andy Quirke has now got his new project up and running with the entry on the live scene of the Cardinals in conjunction with Gary And Ian from Freeloader. We are delighted to have now secured the services of the "croatian sensation " Anton Kolaric to take over. Anton lives in Sheffield and is well known to us since he has stood in admirably in the past when needed and we are overjoyed to now have him on board permanently.

tiger bay live at last

Eventually Tiger Bay....me and my mates from the early 90's....have actually agreed a date for our reincarnation....Sunday 12th April at the Commercial Inn in Pudsey. For all the upto date info or just to laugh at the old pictures in the history section see the new web site at http://www.thetigaz.co.uk/ or hit the link in the sidebar. The 2009 version features all new material and not the rock you saw in the 90's...I wonder.................
