Heroes of Rock Raises the Roof for Help for Heroes.
Saturday saw The Heroes, Waterlooville host Heroes of Rock in support of Help For Heroes. What is normally a car park was transformed into an outdoor music venue complete with a BBQ, outdoor bar and a fantastic crowd. Despite the lack of sunshine, the warm and humid weather helped create a great atmosphere throughout the afternoon.
Just Sam got things underway with a set packed with favourites, including Jolene. Next came The Smugglers Band who brought some seriously heavy rock to the stage. A little heavier than my usual Bon Jovi playlist, but excellent musicians all the same.
Snake Heart followed with a strong set featuring a brilliant Hotel California, before Candyfloss Blonde rounded off my afternoon in style. Opening with Zombie, they delivered a fantastic set full of classic songs and had the crowd singing along from the start.
Sadly I missed Kneeslider. After four hours of photos, videos and live streams, my camera batteries finally gave up. To make matters worse, according to the parking warden’s signs, I couldn’t return for two hours as my four hour max had expired. With Cooper my dog waiting for his dinner at home, it seemed like a good excuse to call it a day.
The music continues tonight with Masters of Rock headlining what promises to be a fantastic evening.
A great event, a great cause and another reminder of the strength of our local live music scene. Well done to everyone involved in raising money for Help for Heroes.
