East Garston

East Garston Social Club continues it's quest to ever widen the scope of entertainment it provides for the community as a whole. Across the years we have enjoyed many types of live music here in the Berkshire countryside. Ska, Country & Western, Reggae, good old Rock 'n Roll, and even a German Beer Keller evening, have all put in appearances.

One genre of music that has to my knowledge, never been featured here before, is "Heavy Metal" ~ Enter "Night Prowler" a three man metal group featuring Nathan on Drums, Ben on Bass Guitar with Mike on Lead Guitar and Vocals. The band have their own space on www.myspace.com/isotonicmusic where you can listen to three recorded tracks, they also have a permanent web site currently under construction. www.isotonicmusic.co.uk

Heavy Metal music is not really my bag so, when Ray Baker asked me to come along and take a few photos I genuinely wasn't at all keen to do so. My perception was that my ears would have to endure a very loud cacophony of noise, masquerading as music. Well, Loud it was, "A noise-?" ~ it most certainly WASN'T. The energy and musical talent that these boys presented did ~ in my opinion, put many of our so called celebrity groups to shame. This event confirmed the old saying ~ "You should never judge a book by it's cover" ~ I am really pleased now that I decided to go along. My grateful thanks to "Night Prowler" ~ for allowing me to crawl about the stage taking photos during their performance.
