UFO, Millenium Music Hall, Cardiff 29th April 2010

41 years on and they just get better and better.

. There cannot have been an unsatisfied punter in the house as UFO blasted their way through a 'Best Of' set interspersed with tracks from their latest album 'The Visitor'.
.
The Classic Rock legends treated the 1,000 strong crowd at Cardiff's Millenium Music Hall to all the greats and Phil Mogg's voice seems to get better with age.

Glamorgan v Somerset 250410

Glamorgan stumbled to a disappointing 38 run defeat at home to Somerset, not helped by some naiive and stupid batting.

.

Oh well, that means we're still on -1 in the 40 over league!

Budgie @ Muni Arts Centre, Pontypridd, 160410

Budgie warmed up for their USA tour with a shindig at Ponty's Municipal Arts Centre.

.

Now suitably aided by Dio guitarist Craig Goldy, the 2 old pros of Shelley and Willams smashed out their classics with high volume and power almost overwhelming Burke's voice.

.

Great stuff.
