Holmfirth and Chesterfield....we salute you
Live/Wire would like to thank the masses of you that came along to the shows at Chesterfield and Holmfirth at the weekend and roared the band on (especially Ashgus) and made it a weekend to remember, so many people and so much warmth and a great vibe (even the weather was amazing). We'd like to thank everyone associated with the venues for the superb support in the construction of our stage set and backline, much appreciated. Next stop on the FTATR Cannon trail is BOLTON Albert Halls, Crikey !!

Angus News - Announcement
Its now a couple of months since Lorne announced he'd called time on his four years with Live/Wire.
We'd like to thank everyone who came along during auditions for the role and we'd especially like to thank Ricky who stood in for six shows during the summer and did himself proud. Ricky we salute you !
The Band has took its time in making sure it found someone who would not just give the same quality of show you are all used to but positively enhance performances both in the playing, energy and repertoire side of the music. This band will as always try to put the audience slap bang in the middle of the show.
With this in mind we are pleased to introduce Ash (ASHGUS or ANGASH, should we have a poll ?) to Live/Wire.
Ash is a young man that hails from that Standard bearing area of Rock Music the West Midlands, and has been an AC/DC fan since he can remember.
We wish him well and hope you all get to witness his talent, we have and are very excited.

Legends of Rock Festival 2012 Live/Wire at Great Yarmouths
As lovers of Classic Rock & live music there are so many of the greats that we love that either are no longer with us or have given up touring. We all play our favourite tracks at home or in the car or tune in to Planet Rock but seeing & hearing supremely skilled musicians playing these tracks live brings it all back on home ! Especially when you’re rocking with a thousand other Classic Rock fans beside you.
As always, Classic Rock Tours only books the best. All of our bands are leaders in their own field & try to give their fans an experience as close to the original as possible. The incredible musical skills of our bands have contributed to the enormous success of RhodesRock which has now become an unmissable annual rock holiday for many hundreds of discerning Classic Rock fans. All of the RhodesRock bands plus many more will be playing in the Regency Room where you can get in the mosh down the front or get yourself a table with your mates & listen to the music whilst supping a pint.
Legends of Rock gives you the chance to go back to the days of the very best in rock music for 3 days & nights. It will be relentless !!!! Band after band after band non stop. And if there are bands that you are not so keen on or you just need a break there will be plenty more entertainment including more live bands & comedy going on in the V Lounge next door. Or if you’re really rocked out get down to the restaurant or the many other leisure facilities.

Rhodes Rock 2012.................get ready
A Unique Greek festival celebrating the very best Classic Rock music, played live by Europe's foremost tribute bands at Lindos on Rhodes.
For those of you that have previously enjoyed the music of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Foreigner and Journey, played live in a stadium or theatre, whether by the great originals or a top tribute band, this event will truly add another dimension to the experience.
Think Floyd, Letz Zep, Are You Experienced? , The ZZ Tops, Livewire & A Foreigners Journey, the foremost U.K. tribute bands will be playing music from that classic rock era, at a venue like no other. The beautiful Greek island village of Lindos next to the Aegean Sea.
The white sugar cube houses clustered at the foot of the ancient acropolis, the sandy beaches, the tavernas, restaurants & bars &, of course, the friendly locals make it one of the favourite holiday destinations for those in the know.
Since the early 1960's many people return year after year unable to do without their annual Lindos fix whilst others have succumbed totally & moved there. In the early years this Aegean paradise was a haven for foreign artists, writers & musicians whilst in the 70's tourism began to play it's part & the locals began to convert some of their houses into pensions, tavernas & bars with sunbeds & umbrellas beginning to appear on the beaches.
As well as famous actors, writers & artists, Pink Floyd also made the village one of their homes in the early 70's & David Gilmour still owns a villa in the village. David's family still visit regularly & sometimes the great man himself returns to see his many friends in Lindos. Other rock stars have been regular visitors over the years sometimes staying in David's house. However, please be aware that locals & regular visitors always respect their privacy & if you come to Lindos & by chance you see a familiar face you will be expected to do the same.
Among the bands' friends are bar owners & restauranteurs who can sometimes be persuaded to re-tell some of the anecdotes of life with Pink Floyd. Try Dimitris & Michalis Mavrikos' restaurant in the village square or Socrates' Bar where there is the constant sound of great classic rock music & photos of Socrates with various rock stars on the 400 year old walls.
This week long festival of Classic Rock takes place in the magical village of Lindos with 2 show nights at Pauls Bay in the shadow of the 2,500 year old Acropolis and the Think Floyd show in front of the ancient amphitheatre.
There will also be parties with the bands with extra performances in the week for those that book the official travel package with us. Entry is free & exclusive to our guests. Food will be available at extra cost.
Imagine it ! Flying to the beautiful Greek island of Rhodes with a plane full of Floyd, Zeppelin, Hendrix, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Foreigner and Journey fans for company & a week or two in the sun seeing where it all happened in the 70's & 80's & talking to the people who were there. And the bands will be around during the week to talk to & buy drinks for !!
