Thanks to everyone that came to see the band at the Regent Hotel in
Doncaster the other night. First time in Doncaster for Twin Lizzy.
Special thanks for all the great comments from you guys - see reviews
/ comments page. The lads especially enjoyed your remarks
John Wilson. We can only put an edited version on the website but
much appreciated mate. Hopefully we shall be back in Donny before too
long, so :-
Until the next time !!!

Today we have finally put some music on the website. Click SOUNDS on
the main menu to go to the download page. Once there click "TWIN
LIZZY - Rough n ready"
Because of the constraints of time and money etc. We have been hard
pressed to make any decent quality recordings of the band so far. The
"Rough n ready" mix that you will hear is from a recent
live performance. The recording was taken straight off the mixing
desk with no processing what so ever. The problem with this type of
recording is that the desk is set up to provide the best possible
sound mix for the room on the night. For example if the Hi Hat on the
drum kit isn't very loud at the back of the room then we turn it up
on the desk until it sounds right - in the room. The bass guitar
sound from Roger's rig is very loud and powerful, so we put very
little of it through the desk at all. The final mix on the night
sounds good "in the room".
This all means that levels on the recording are not set for a very
good playback mix. The bass guitar isn't loud enough. the cymbals are
too loud, the guitars are not as balanced as they should be, etc. etc.
Despite all of the above we have decided to put out edited samples of
some of the songs. We feel that the "rough n ready" mix at
least give a flavour of how TWIN LIZZY play live.
As soon as we are able we will put together some decent quality
recordings and get them onto the site. We need to do this in order to
show TWIN LIZZY in the best possible light and also to pay proper
tribute to the fantastic music of PHIL LYNOTT.

"The Springhead" Hull. What a great night! Thanks to
everyone who came along and joined in the fun. I'd especially like to
thank all of you that have sent us your kind comments via this
website. As I have said before - a great gig does not happen because
of the band alone. It's down to the audience as well. I know the lads
in the band all agree that you guys on Friday were fantastic. The
right vibe from the crowd always makes Twin Lizzy play better. Thankyou.
Which brings me to the "Dusty Miller" on Saturday. What can
I say? Another crowd full of people who know how to rock! The energy
in that place could have powered a small town for 48 hours. Thanks
again the Miller Gang and as my friend at the front often says
"COME ON" !!! As for the girl who kept climbing
onto the stage - Priceless! I've never seen Roger look so
nervous. : - )
Here's to the next time.

Unfortunately Sunday's gig (27th Jan) at Baileys
Live in Grimsby has been cancelled.
The venue has cancelled all gigs for January and February.
Hopefully We'll be back there soon, as we really enjoyed
playing there, and at the moment, we have a gig booked for May.
If you want to see us in Grimsby before May, we are at the Yardbirds
in March :-)

We would like to thank the guys at the Yardbirds for being so
hospitable on Sunday. The Lincolnshire Warlocks have a really
fantastic set up at the club and Twin Lizzy wish them all the best
and every success in the future. For anyone that hasn't been to the
Yardbirds yet it's a must ! Great club, great atmosphere, loads of
good bands booked and run by people who really care about what they
are doing. If you live in or around Grimsby or even further a field,
go try the Yardbirds for a great rock night out.
Cheers guys, see you all again soon.

Great gig at the Sturdy Lads the other night. We would like to thank
everyone who came along and made it such a great night for the band -
Thankyou !!!
Special mention to the guys n gals that travelled all the way from
Grimsby to be there. It was great to see you and chat after the set.
We are looking forward to seeing you all again at the Yardbirds in a
few weeks time.
After receiving lots of enquiries regarding what equipment we use on
stage, I'm going to put together a GEAR PAGE. It will be a while
before I can put it all together but I thought some of you guys would
like to see some tech. info. plus pics of guitars, gear etc. Watch
this space as they say.
No gigs next weekend. Steve T. celebrates his 21st birthday with a
SAGA holidays trip to Shackletons comfy chairs. If anyone want's to
send congratulations via the website his Bday is actually on the 31st Oct.
Well that's about it for now. We are looking forward to seeing as
many of you as can make it to " Cert 18 " in York on
November 9th.
"Until the next time"
Sunday 7th October.
Baileys Live
Great gig at Baileys Live Last night. We really do enjoy playing in
Grimsby. We played The Yardbirds recently and that was a great
night too. Lets face it ! At the end of the day it's the audience
that make the difference between a good gig and a fantastic gig. The
band would like to thank everyone at Baileys last night. The staff
were very friendly and helpful and that's a big bonus too. As for the
audience - what a great crowd !!! You guys really know how to have a
good time. Thanks to everyone that had such nice things to say to us
after the gig. A special thanks to Bob and Jo. Glad you enjoyed it so
much and we are really grateful for your comments. Looking forwards
to seeing you again at the Yardbirds in a months time.
Until the next time.
All the very best,
Twin Lizzy.

Check out this band. They come from the York area and they supported
us at The Gasworks. They are a five piece guitar band (excellent lead
work) playing all their own material which is mainly blues based
gutsy rock. The band features a superb lead vocalist who sounds like
someone twice his age and experience. The entire band are still in
their late teens and if their performance on Saturday was anything to
go by then they should have a very bright future.

That’s it for now, see you soon,
Steve.
