The 11th Door and Upcoming Gigs




I have recently started a new musical project, currently under the name 'The 11th Door'.  There are four members in all, who are;  Vince Cory - lead guitar,  Thor Brown - bass,  Dave Greenald - drums, and myself on vocals, guitar, and harmonica.  We have been practising some covers by the Velvet Underground, 13th Floor Elevators, the Seeds, as well as a few of my own songs.  My own songs, for this project, are different to my usual Shem Sharples songs set, and include four old ones from my days with Rev Rev.
We are looking forward to playing our first warm-up gig at the Gardeners Arms, Chester, this Saturday 10th December, supporting Red Elektra 69.  Then the following Thursday 15th December, we are playing a fuller set at the Golden Eagle, Castle Street.  I'm excited about this, as it gives me something new and different to work on.
The feel and approach is much more rock'n'roll/ psych than the other projects of mine.  I get to dust off my electric guitar!

So we are at;

Saturday 10th Dec        Gardeners Arms, Boughton, Chester.
Thursday 15th Dec.      Golden Eagle, Castle Street, Chester.
