So the Sunny was packed and off we went on our big European adventure. After crossing the channel from Dover to Dunkirk we set the Sat Nav for the small town of Dessel in Belgium, host town of the annual Graspop Metal Meeting. Even with a labouriously slow peak-hour run around the Antwerpen Ring, we made it just in time to load up on food and beer at the supermarket in nearby Mol. Read more…

We were lucky enough for our visit home to coincide with Metalstock 2007 – Australia’s premier metal event and now in its third year. The festival runs for 3 days from Good Friday to Easter Sunday and while we didn’t have enough time to spend the whole long weekend there, we drove up on the Sunday afternoon to catch up with our metal mates for a few beers and some rockin’ tunes.

On Saturday afternoon we arrived in Bandon, a small town just a few miles south-west of Cork. We’d been lucky enough to get a room at the beautiful Kilbrogan Guest House due to a late cancellation. Not only was Kilbrogan a beautiful and homely place to stay, it was also only 5 mins walk from De Barra – the pub where Jeff Martin would be playing later that evening. Read more…
