Cliffs Pavilion - 27 Nov 2013

with Beverley's daughter Sara Skeete - guesting on GOOD ROCKING DADDY.

Lighthouse Poole - 29 Nov 2013

Last but one gig of the tour.

Theatre Royal, Plymouth - 30 Nov 2013

Last gig of the tour. Unfortunately, not many photos possible due to tight security, which was a real downer. The RKs were brilliant as usual, Bill's daughter Katie was there, also Martin Barre in the audience (Jethro Tull). Later bye-bye, thank you and hugs to everybody including Broadie & wife - doesn't happen too often as he used to make a quick escape! We got really friendly with Maria Muldaur who talked about maybe coming to Germany, she'll be sending out newsletters. Nick Payn will be touring Germany with Roger Chapman from Wednesday on. Bill takes a well-deserved rest - let's all hope to see this great band again before too long.

Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings - November Gigs 2013 (UK)

Birmingham Symphony Hall - 14 Nov 2013.
Due to Georgie's illness, they had to change the setlist accordingly. Bill said some words about Georgie, still being in hospital but slowly on the mend. Some shots of Geraint Watkins possible this time, who stood up to get a better look at Maria. Due to the security being keen on cameras, I took most of the photos quickly and out of the blue, not too bad though.
Clem Cattini was in the audience. Also great to meet up with UK friends, among them Claire Robinson.

Featuring:
Bill Wyman - bass, vocals
Beverley Skeete - vocals, percussion
Albert Lee - guitar, keyboards, vocals
Terry Taylor - guitar, vocals
Graham Broad - drums, backgr vocals
Nick Payn - saxophone, flute, harmonica, backgr vocals
Frank Mead - saxophone, harmonica, percussion, vocals
Geraint Watkins - keyboards, vocals
- Georgie Fame had to pull out due to illness -
Special guest:
Maria Muldaur - vocals, percussion

Guild Hall Preston - 15 Nov 2013

Birthday gig for me at Preston. My 2nd visit to the Guild Hall Preston. Same line-up, same set list as in Birmingham. Thumbs up for Bill who suffered from a sore throat but did the entire show as usual. Beverley, Maria and Terry came out later to sign for their fans at the merchandise table which was greatly appreciated.

Llandudno, Venue Cymru - 16 Nov 2013
Nice and relaxing drive up to Llandudno behind the RKs' tour bus. My last gig for a (short) while. Geraint had a home match being Welsh and got frenetic applause. Rhythm Kings were on top form and the audience very responsive. No changes to the setlist. Bill closed the show doing YOU NEVER CAN TELL accompanied by all the other band members, Nick Payn and Frank Mead - the fabulous horn section - provided some funny moves which everybody enjoyed.

Some photos from Landudno, Wales
- October 2011 and 16/17 November 2013.

Norman Beaker Band & Larry Garner, Bischofsmühle Hildesheim - 02 Nov 2013

Norman Beaker Band and Larry Garner (almost) in our neck of the woods. They played a great gig to a blues-loving crowd and went down a storm. The Bischofsmuehle is a newly renovated club which has been operating only for 6 months. Bar prices were resonable, a friendly staff made everybody welcome. Good to catch up with the boys again. New dates for spring 2014 are already in the pipeline - see you again before too long!



Band:
Norman Beaker, git,voc
