It’s been a funny year for Brighton Strangler. Mikey died nearly a year and a half ago, which sort of knocked us all sideways a bit. We are always going to miss his enthusiasm, fun, and just a brilliant bloke to be around. He wasn’t just our bass player, but for all of us a good mate. Shame we didn’t manage to get the second album out while he was around, he would have loved it. Mikey put a lot of hard work into the album, and I’m pleased to say we have been in the studio, and I reckon it will be launched by about the end of the year. We’re doing it for him.
It’s a big hello to Rod! He’s our new bass player and we’ve already had one practice with him. It was touch and go whether we would be able to play the Lewes Road Inn on Saturday 29th November. But now we’ve got Rod on board, I’m confident that we’ll put on a good show. Looking forward to that as we haven’t gigged since Mikey passed away. I’m enjoying the new songs and the band can’t wait to play them for you. We’ve got some corkers, such as Georgie Best and Lockdown.
