Friday night.  The Uplands Tavern is buzzing with noisy punters sniffing out Booze and entertainment.  The beer is flowing and there is an abundance of barflies hovering around their drinks.  Chalked up on the blackboard behind the stageare the weeks music makers, here to drown out the small talk and divert some attention to their corner of the room.

 

Dropping us straight in at the deep end are the Blackwood boys collectively known as Bleed the Freek.  By the way of introduction their first song "Spanish Fly" is a striaghtforward rock out with weaselling guitar spread-eagled over whining feedback.

 

"Your the only one who listens, the only one who says you'll make it someday".  Vocalsit Steve abandons his guitar and concentrates all his energy into crooning out the emotive lyrics before launchinginto an all out vocal attack, "I'm gonna be just like you someday, gonna make it my own way".
