 Last but not least our incredible headliners TYSONDOG. One of the original NWOBHM bands who as a much younger fan in the eighties I have followed very closely. For me it was a lifetime achievement to finally have the full line up, fired up and ready to play for us in their own area of the UK Now with Bilk Gang from French Metal Kings GanG at the head of the pack, they came out snarling and straining at the leash, his performance was thrilling as always Kevin Wynn headbanging his thick mop of hair ferociously throughout the entire set Tysondog sealed our event with such an energetic and powerful performance all round The crowd replied with equal energy clapping, screaming, fists in the air. The sound throughout the day was music to our ears and as Tysondog launched into 'Don't let the Bastards grind you down' those of us still standing reached out to shake hands with all the band members It's a shame we don't have more events like this in the UK to give these bands the platform they so richly deserve. Next year they will be playing the Grimm up North festival, where myself and Claire will do all we can to promote that spectacular day Tysondog as a band and as individuals were truly, AWESOME! Arriving at midday, they supported all the other bands playing throughout our event, by cheering them all on, bringing priceless items to raffle, mingling with mearfesters and enjoying the whole day as a solid metal team. Having them headline, rounded off the whole day beautifully. A unique day when we remembered our daughter Molly Mear and a day in history that British Heavy Metal can be very proud of INFINITY/10 AWESOME! PHOTOS |
