Flounder Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Bill Waine is a legend, a word that is very overused, but if anyone qualifies then it’s Bill. He’s been involved in the Bristol music scene since the late ‘70’s, played in some of the best bands that Bristol has ever produced, and has proved himself a massively talented musician. Furthermore Bill is a character, raconteur and has many close mates in and out of the scene. Unfortunately 2019 has been a disastrous year for Bill. A series of strokes, heart failure and various other health issues has left him incapacitated and housebound. The Grim Reaper came calling for Bill, but he kicked him right in the nuts with his Brothel Creepers and happily is still with us. So we are organising an event. Not a charity thing, more a testimonial for a player who is taking a step back from the front line. Anyone who knows Bill will know his love for life, Rock and Roll and decent Hawaiian shirts. Please come along to his testimonial at The Thunderbolt and show some love for Bill. There will be live music from London Calling, The Bad Losers and The Dukes Of Mumbai. Music choices will be catered by Bill himself, and to cap it off a Rock and Roll auction with some top items to bid for!! Everyone involved with this is giving their time and skills for free, so all the proceeds for the night will go directly toward getting Bill’s life a bit more on track. So please come along and support Bill’s night. Contact Claire on 07946585244 for tickets or email claireherbert@blueyonder.co.uk I’ve linked a videos of Bill doing what Bill did best! Dynamo Rhythm Aces and the Hot 27’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanOB Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hope Bill’s benefit gig went alright. Say hello to him from me. I am Sean O’B. Good mates with Bill back in 70s. He always said he’d be a musician/singer. Good to see he became one and a good one at that. Sorry to hear he’s been so ill. Let’s hope he gets better & back to gigging soon. I meet with our other old mate Tim (Mombadilla). We’d love to buy Bill a pint when he’s back in action. Get well soon Bill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
