Ryan's Gig Guide - September 2018
BLACKBALLED + Eddy Morton & Patched Up Parachutes Blackballed's sound has been built by experi- enced musicians Marshall Gill (Guitar/Vocals) brother Leon Drums/Vocals)and TomWib- berley (Bass) who have appeared as individu- als at the Pyramid Stage, MaidaVale, Sonisphere and toured Europe,Australia, Brazil and America In the middle of all this, sometime and somewhere in 2012 the broth- ers Gill realised that their "faffing about" in between their discussions of lamps, baggage and fish bands had re- sulted in a shed load of ideas and riffs they were keen to explore. So began the hunt for a bassist.TomWibber- ley soon completed the triad and Black- balled emerged with support gigs for Phil X (Bon Jovi) and Trig- gerfinger just weeks later. Following a packed out appearance at Bearded Theory the band scored an on the spot offer of the headline show at Deerstock in 2018 and have extended their third Euro- pean Tour to 20 plus dates across 4 coun- tries, closing with a return appearance at home town Strummercamp in May. Blackballed's reputation as a band not to be missed grows as they continue to smash down the walls at every show, leaving a line of converted fans in their wake. www.blackballedband.org www.wegottickets.com/event/443037 RGG have a pair of tickets to give away for this gig.
