4-11-17 Wheatsheaf, Bingham

We had been to the Football club fireworks display, an excellent event, so finished off in the Wheatsheaf pub and there was a solo act Matty Haynes. He sings and loops and it is all very good.

Anyhow, some how I was convinced to play one song and thought this fitted the vibe of the night

Rock and Roll – Led Zeppelin (Lounge Lizard version)

Thanks Matty it ended a great night.
