WORDS: Chris Cupples // PHOTOS: Jeff Cupples We had not quite recovered from the Christmas flu when we set off on 2 January for the first gig of the year. A three-hour journey in the pouring rain was not the best but we soldiered on with a great sense of anticipation of a great concert; we were not disappointed. Seeing as there were no support acts, BCC immediately slammed into 2 hours of almost non-stop action. It was clearly the Glenn Hughes show as Wolverhampton is his home town and clearly very dear to his heart. The venue was absolutely jammed packed with his followers, some of whom have known him since his first public appearance which was apparently in that self-same hall. The band were on fire and Glenn was blazing. His voice is the best it has ever been and what energy! Joe Bonamassa has really proved himself as an excellent rock guitarist having already conquered the blues world. Jason Bonham knocked shit out of those drums and although from where we were sitting we could not see Derek Sherinian we could certainly hear his dominance of the keyboards. After the gig we found a very acceptable Indian Restaurant by the name of Jivans where we met an interesting bunch of chaps from Swansea who had also been to the gig and we shared some gig memories with them. Our last port of call was the hotel – Premier Inn – with a very nice clean room for a good sleep and up for the three-hour journey home the next day. BCCIV is out now on Mascot + J&R Adventures
Chris and Jeff Cupples are retired rockers with more time than sense; what better a way to spend it than gigging around the UK?
