Dave Ball's Ballbreakers

Henry Scott-Irvine's party, the Marquee, London, 25 November 2007


The venue was the downstairs bar at the new Marquee Club in Upper St Martin's Lane in London, UK

Dave tunes up as Henry Scott-Irvine introduces Dave Ball's Ballbreakers

Dave Ball, guitar; SPY, bass; Sam Kelly, drums

Richard Simmons on keyboards

The enigmatically-named SPY ... apparently telepathically-linked with the extraordinary Sam Kelly on drums

Some inspired, exciting playing ... from a band who had met earlier in the day for their first rehearsal

Three-quarters of the band, from the front

Photographs other than those on this page were evidently taken

Borrowed spectacles were required when Dave had to check the lyric-sheet

Selecting material

At one stage he had to ask for a human music-stand; she managed to dance mildly as well as holding up the word-sheet

 

The backdrop leaves us in no doubt as to the name of the venue
