Oh Dear!

Shooter Lead guitarist and vocalist Keith had a little mishap on Saturday last, while helping his son Dan to celebrate both his 30th birthday and break in a new set of golf clubs, (a present from his mates) Keith slipped on a muddy slope and fell heavily on his left hand injuring his thumb, ouch!.
With a gig in Rochdale in the same evening, it was damage limitation time, out came the ice pack compress, followed by heat treatment and analgesic rub. Although very sore Keith managed to complete the gig, a dual 40th wedding anniversary celebration at the Milnrow Cricket Club, Rochdale, a good time was had by all.
After a virtual sleepless Saturday night, Keith woke up on Sunday morning to find his hand quite swollen and decided a hospital visit was required. After examination and Xray it was discovered that he had chipped and fractured the knuckle bone in the thumb on his left hand , ouch! Now with his hand in a splint and a visit booked with a hand specialist, our axe mans not a happy chappy, still, with no gigs over the next ten days or so and a little rest and TLC, we are confident that he will be OK for the Master McGraths gig at the end of the month.
The Band are looking forward to a busy month in December with some great gigs and the release of the new album/Cd, so we wish Keith a speedy recovery and hope to meet some of you on our travels.
Keep It Live! See you next time.
