Our Twin Girls received a Gift To Remember (literally) from Neonfly

The twins received signed photos through the post from Neonfly, to say they were excited would be an understatement...

Neonfly - A Gig To Remember

Having seen Neonfly support Magnum twice during the same week, the day arrived that the kids were looking forwards to, their turn to see both bands at the Wulfren hall in Wolverhampton.

Wandering around the side of the venue with Taylor & we just happen to bump into Bob Catley, Taylor's face lit up & a quick word with Bob ensured a photo oppertunity...

The lads from Neonfly then pulled up in their van & came over to say hello & to thank me & the wife for our support on the tour, which I thought was really nice of them.

Before the doors opened, David Campbell handed me 5 red noses, these were to be worn during the Magnum song - Too Many Clowns (this was going to be a surprise to the band)

Neonfly performed amazingly on their set & our kids became instant fans, their set comprised of the following songs...

Ship With No Sails
The Enemy
A Gift To Remember
Better Angels
The Revenant / The Ornament / Spitting Blood (MEDLEY)
Heart Of The Sun
Morning Star


As to be expected Magnum were on fire, here's their set...

Live 'til You Die
Black Skies
Freedom Day
Dance of the Black Tattoo
Blood Red Laughter
Unwritten Sacrifice
How Far Jerusalem
Les Morts Dansants
Falling for the Big Plan
The Spirit
All My Bridges
All England's Eyes
Vigilante
Kingdom of Madness
       
Encore: Cue the Red Noses...
Too Many Clowns
Sacred Hour


After the gig we hung back to allow the crowds to leave & the kids to not get squashed, then we headed over to the guys from Neonfly & they joined our kids on a few photos & made a fuss of them.

 Delta took a shine to Paul - The bass player (seems to be a family thing fancying bass players)

The kids now listen to Neonfly every day, they've even sang their songs infront of the school & have videos on youtube of them singing at home.

Magnum - Holmfirth

We decided to make a day of it & do some sight seeing around this picturesque Yorkshire village,
It was a very chilly day & by 14:30 we had done 3 circuits of the village & had a pub lunch, this resulted in us forming a queue of 2, which we stood in for 5 hours (did i mention how chilly it was?)

Anyway, we eventually got into the venue & this time we stood dead centre at the front, once again a blinding set from Neonfly followed by a great show from Magnum.

Afterwards we went & met the guys from Neonfly, I bought their CD & a T-Shirt & got their autographs. The wife got them together & had a photo taken with them :)

Then we made the long journey home, before it was time to do it all over again the next day in Wolverhampton. It's only Rock N Roll, but i like it ;)
