Summer Festivals 2011

I hadn't worked with the Blaze Band since January 2010, but by April 2011 there had been some changes within the band, and the chance came along to play some shows; this time in Belgium, Germany, Sweden and Lithuania.

Soon after that, I met Claudio Tirincanti, Steve Deleu and Nick Maganck in Birmingham for some rehearsals for the first show.

None of us had met before, but Claudio had been playing drums with Blaze for the past year at that point.

Nick and Steve had been in various bands in Belgium over the years, but none of us had ever played together.

Belgium (De Verlichte Geest) and Saarbangers Metal Festival in Germany were on consecutive nights, and then three weeks later we played the Muskelrock outdoor festival in Sweden.

There was then 8 weeks until we played the Roko Naktys Festival festival in Lithuania, which was definitely worth the wait.

Here's THE CLANSMAN once again - this time from Roko Naktys Festival, Lithuania.
