Regretably, as of Tuesday 17th March 2009, I can confirm that Jackhammer in it's current line up has
ceased to exist. Trudy, Dave and myself have left the band to persue a
new musical venture, which will bemaking it's debut on Saturday March 21st at the Scunthorpe Parkinson Arms. There will be a new website very shortly for this new band, called Orion, at www.orionband.co.uk, and we also have a presence at www.myspace.com/orionbanduk
As
far as I am aware, Carl will be putting together a new three piece line
up of Jackhammer, and I believe continuing in the blues rock tradition
that people have possibly missed the past few years. I'm not sure if he
has a line up in place as yet, but if any bass players or drummers are
interested in contacting Carl, please PM me (drummerdave), or perhaps Sierra-9, at the Scunthorpe Entertainer Forum at www.scunny.co.uk and I
will happily pass on the contact details to him.
Myself, Trudy
and Dave wish Carl all the best for the future, and hope that out of
the ashes of one band we get the birth of two brand new ones ! On a
personal note, I'd just like to say that I've enjoyed my time with
Jackhammer tremendously, we've had some spectacular gigs, most
memorably the jaunt across to Dublin last year. Carl is a great
musician and I look forward to seeing whatever shape the new Jackhammer
takes in the near future.
Thank you.
