THE NEW FOG CHARITY
GIG as above – FOG WARNING – The FOG is about to
descend upon Wyre Piddle again… so look out everyone… Having lost Dear Old
Chris, they have had to start at the bottom with a young apprentice (hope he can keep up with these old timers…)
FOG’s first outing will be to raise money towards the restoration of St Anne’s
historic window. Not without reason, therefore, FOG is desperate for your
support. Give the Four Old Geezers some much needed encouragement. They will
have a bucket (ideally for your contributions) ((and if you give them enough they may go home early)) – If this
outing wasn’t enough, they will be the headline act at the the Harvest Supper
in the Village Hall on Saturday 30 September, so pop this date in your diary
now…
Four Old Geezers was formed in April 2010 when Four Old Geezers with nothing better to do thought they would annoy the neighbours by starting a rock band. It is no surprise that we chose 1960's music as most of us were doin' our courtin' then!

Tim (bang, crash, wallop) Willis
Tim's our new drummer.
He's also the new youngster to the band, reducing the average age of the band by some considerable amount as he has only recently qualified for his senior citizens railcard, whereas the rest of us can't remember what a railway is half the time.
Tim's trying to recreate his misspent youth, recalling the days when he played in a 1970's show band called "The Brass Syndrome" and doing all the clubs in South Wales. That was until the Welsh got their devolution and the first thing the Welsh Parliament did was to vote to deport him.
The highpoint of his musical training was lessons from Pic Withers of Dire Straits fame. Shame Tim can't remember anything he learned from Pic.
All this semi-professional background means that Tim joins Ken as another member who has actually done some serious music in the past. Makes Malc and Peter feel overwhelmed!
Welcome Tim.

FOG is back - and we are doing our first proper GIG at the hotel (Piesse of Pidele) in Wyre Piddle on Saturday 29th July.
Come along and hear us and introduce yourselves to Tim, our new drummer.
Especially bring your wallets, because we are doing the GIG in aid of the St. Anne's Window Appeal - to restore the historic medaeval window in St. Anne's Church in Wyre Piddle.

FOG is back
Nearly two years after Chris' tragic death, FOG have formed up again with Tim Willis as our new drummer. Tim is a bit of a foreigner, being as he comes from as far away as Fladbury. He also makes it into the band as the new youngster as he has only recently acquired his bus pass and senior citizens railcard.
