Palers rehearsing at Domus Felix (1)

Paul Holland's pictures


 Gary 'Shep' Shepard  and Richard Beck, guitars; Jens Anders Ravnaas at the drum kit

 Al 'One-Eye' Edelist was stand-by vocalist in rehearsal until latecomers were able to join us. The song words are in his mobile device

 Jens on the drums, Jeremy Gilien on Hammond – playing with one hand, conducting with the other

 Linda on Roland ... there's a joke in there somewhere

Linda Clare, albeit a piano-teacher by profession, makes her rock-band début on that instrument with
'Twas 'Teatime at the Circus



Andrè Romkes on his own drums (one of two kits he brought from Norway, among many other percussion instruments); Jeremy at the B3

'The beatings will continue until morale improves', claims One-Eye. Luckily morale was extremely high throughout the rehearsals

 

Percussionists confer, others make notes or simply listen, as the band practises

 We were close, but not cramped, on the stage at Domus Felix

 Still There'll be More ... Don Milione on Hammond, Roland on bass, Søren Borello singing, Gary 'Shep' Shepard
on lead guitar, and Tito Davila drumming with the 'proper' BJ Wilson grip. Nice shot of the bass rig, tucked behind the B3

 

 The said 'Shep', as he was dubbed by Gary Brooker, thereby avoiding the confusion of
having two people named 'Gary' playing in the Palers' Band on the Sunday night

 

'Shep' and Roland in action
