Americana- Part Three- The Wall of Death

After the show we had another wander around the site, listening to Heggy (George Hamilton V) play his set of country rock. He was followed onstage by Paul Overstreet. What a treat! He wrote (among many other songs) "When you say nothing at all" and "Love will build a bridge". Mark (son of John D) Loudermilk played lead guitar and Gail Davies' band provided the backing. A perfect Saturday evening's entertainment.


I'd mentioned that there was a Wall of Death on the site, so Nicki, Tracy and Bob walked down to take some photos. Unfortunately it was in between shows but they very kindly allowed us access.

They even allowed us access inside the track, which is made of wood.

"Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
You can waste your time on the other rides
But this is the nearest to being alive
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death"
Words by Richard Thompson.

It was getting late by now, so we said our farewells and headed home. Cozy was staying overnight as he was playing again the next morning. We will all meet again on Wednesday in Peterlee.

We have a couple of days to recover before it all kicks off again.
