I featured Gerard & The Watchmen's "I Climbed A Tree" album last year, and liked it a lot, but wasn't aware of the Stortford connection. I must check out the new one.<br /><br />ErnieErnie Gogginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044812993148040730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550740145013796768.post-20014543981958658612013-12-23T00:05:01.941+00:002013-12-23T00:05:01.941+00:00Gerard and The Watchmen are a Bishops Stortford ba...Gerard and The Watchmen are a Bishops Stortford band, whilst not in the Jimmy Shand mould their album 'Wooden Castles' recently released is getting a lot of attention. Pretty damn good. I believe Kenny Ball certainly lived close to BS for many years, still pretty awesome when I saw him play a few years back (well into his eighties) to raise funds for The Princess Alexandra Hospital. Ed Drewett is a young singer song writer that has recorded with Professor Green. Dave Gerard's voice singing my favourite song of the moment "Long We Stood". There are some other very good but less well known: Elliot Porter, Charlotte James, think you should have stayed with the BS rellies a little longer and caught up with the young talent that hangs out locally!!Some great venues too,the Half Moon had one of the best blues evenings for miles, not sure if it is still going.
