Rock of Ages

[MikeEvs]

So last week I was asked to go along to the Ffwrnes Theatre in Llanelli to take some photos of a New Directions Theatrical Society production of Rock of Ages.

The show opened with a blistering version of the guitar intro to David Lee Roth's Just Like Paradise.

The guitar player in the show is probably familiar to quite a few of you as it was Paul Davies formerly of Karnataka and Panic Room:

My photos were taken during the last full rehearsal and I had to leave before the end, I went back the following night to watch the show in full on their opening night on Thursday.

I suspect that I shouldn't but I do like this show: I even liked the film. Great photos as always Mike

[MikeEvs]

Thanks Owen, I haven't seen the film and hadn't seen the show before so didn't know what to expect.

I didn't think I would but I really enjoyed it and the cast and crew did a great job putting on the show

Greta pics as always Mike! Interesting to see Paul... a most excellent guitarist... but I suspect Mr Foster will do just fine too!

[MikeEvs]

Yes Paul is a great and Dave can play a bit too:

Funny thing is I see Paul more now , almost daily, than I did when he was in Panic Room, hence why I was asked to go and take photos
