Phil Lewis @ The Underworld

I was off to Camden after work today for my first gig in some time. I started off meeting my friend Mal in the World's End for a drink and catch up. There was a lot to catch up on as we haven't seen each other in "some years"! Much drinking and much hilarity meant that we weren't fussed at all about missing any of the support acts. It was really good to see him and so many memories came flooding back, most of them good LOL. 

We managed to make it down into The Underworld during Phil Lewis' first number so our timing was good! Now for some history.. Phil Lewis shot to fame with his band Girl back in 1978 and then rekindled his success with L.A.Guns in the late 80s so he's been doing this for some time now. I've seen a lot of artists from back in the day trying to give it another shot. Phil not only looked bloody fantastic but still has the notes too! Tonight was a greatest hits set of Girl and L.A.Guns songs. He might have been working with a hired band who had started learning the set three days beforehand (turns out they were the support band) but everything fitted nearly into place and the few people who were aware of this low key gig were treated to some brilliant renditions of old favourites.

Here's the set list:

Fantastic night, great to meet and catch up with Mal and then be treated to a mighty fine performance.
