Pete posted this on Facebook. We know Virgil is a master, but what a joy this 15 y/o boy is that joins him smile

Clive - you're singing to the choir, but sing up anyway.

Missed the lads in my backyard at Mainsforth on Saturday, tough choice, but went to se Ryan McGarvey at Hartlepool. When I arranged this, had it planned to catch VATA at H/pool next week-end. Anyway, thought you'd enjoy this clip from the last time the lads passed through town. Mainsforth is a big room with a big stage, and VATA love it:-

Virgil & Ryan will get to meet up at Bristol - Ryan's looking forward to finally meeting his "UK brother". Don't know what the jam will be like, but I'd love to be a fly-on-the-wall for the soundcheck rehearsals ......hint, hint.... cool

Re: Virgil and the Accelerators

That's a pretty good combination; my May has been:- Chantel McGregor, Mitch Laddie, Aynsley Lister, Federal Charm, Ryan McGarvey with Billy Walton Band, Marcus Bonfanti and The Mentulls to come. VATA were in there until a venue closed, but I'll get my "fix" soon.

Re: Virgil and the Accelerators

So perhaps the most hotly anticipated jam of the year so far on UK soil finally happened  last night, as the foundations of Bristol’s old Temple Meads railway station shook to the strains of Freddie King’s  “I’m Tore Down” as played out by Virgil & the Accelerators and guest Ryan McGarvey.

Immense fun!

Re: Virgil and the Accelerators

That's the trick bag well and truly plundered! As you say, hotly anticipated and certainly didn't disappoint. And what a subject to wait for before first post in a while - nice to see you back.

Indeed, indeed, all accounts!

Thanks, Ian! Good to see and hear you out and about there and here!  I believe the word immense fits quite rightly the fun Purveyed and displayed!  Very cool.  cool  Thanks again.  For some odd reason I thought of Peter Frampton when Virgil turned certain ways...almost looked like a similarity to the cover of "Frampton Comes Alive" for a moment.

Here's an amusing little moment at the sound check when VATA and Ryan McGarvey were playing the Tunnels in Bristol.
