Last Saturday (14 October 2023) The Dirt Road Band played to a sold out venue upstairs at The Commercial Inn, Glossop, invited by Demento66.
The band's line-up are usually Steve Walwyn on guitar and vocal (Dr Feelgood, The DTs, Chevy, Steve Marriott, Roger Chapman, Eddie and The Hot Rods, Red on Red), Ted Duggan on drums (Badfinger, The Beat, The Selecter, Desmond Dekker, Chevy, The Drifters, Banco De Gaia) and Horace Panter on bass (The Specials - Number One Hit `Ghost Town` and eight consecutive top ten hits) but Horace Panter is currently in Los Angeles so in his place on bass guitar was Norman Watt-Roy (The Blockheads, Wilko Johnson).
During the set they were joined onstage by guest singer Gary Miller.
High Peak TV try to interfere as little as possible when filming as we don't want to affect the feel of the event we're recording. We're like nature documentary cameramen who keep filming the baby zebra while a lion silently creeps up behind it - we'd like to think if one of the band had fallen over we would just have kept recording and let nature decide the outcome for better or worse - and it was in this spirit of staying out of the way that we didn't manage to interview the band after the show.
To make up for it here's the last two songs of the night in full.
