Witchaven from Drogheda

From left to right in the photo of Witchaven, Martin (Lambzie) Lambe, lead guitar.  Gerrard Brady (vocals). David (Henny) Dennis, bass. thats me with the big hair. and bottom, Paul Berrill, drums.  The love of metal brought us together and the guy that wrote the newspaper cutting wanted to be our manager.
So, he heard that Grand Slam wouldnt pay the travel expenses for Driveshaft. Now i realise that its all hearsay so stories may differ. That day we were asked could we fill the spot.  A real no brainer. When soundchecking as usual the main bands crew were not the most helpful, but we we well used to this kind of treatment from opening for other acts. For us at the time we were living the dream. At the back of the stage was a room we were hangin around with some of the crew. In walks Phil and chatting with the crew says to us , are youse the support band. We were starstruck and mumbled yes or something. Then he left. Witchaven played a real stormer. There crowd were 500 approx, the biggest we played to.  To be honest. There were mixed feelings from the audience about Grand Slams performance. They played all new material if i,m not wrong. We were in the presence of a true star though and sadly missed.
