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
Henry Scott-Irvine flashes his Procol Harum tee-shirt before the band strikes up
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
Dave is playing through the Orange gear, shown left
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
