Viva Las Vegas photos

Finally, to round off our US road trip, here is a selection of photos from Viva Las Vegas.
This is Texas Steve, the first act we caught. Fairly average, I would give him 4/10.

Playing with him was T J Mayes who improved things. 6/10

This is the Rip 'Em Ups, a band from LA. Created excitement, 8/10.

Next up, here are the Planet Rockers from Nashville. Pretty good. 7/10

This is the UK's very own Graham Fenton, formerly of Matchbox. Only 4/10.

And here we have rockabilly singer Kim Lenz. A little disappointing, 6/10

This is Lance Lipinski, showing he can play guitar as well as Jerry Lee Lewis style piano. 8/10.

Kicking off the Stars of Rockabilly segment, this is Jack Baymoore. OK 5/10.

Sun recording artists Alton (Lott) and Jimmy (Harrell). Worth a listen - 7/10.

Another Sun artist, this is Sonny Burgess. Still on form - 8/10

Larry Collins, once of the Collins Kids, alongside Deke Dickerson. Excellent guitarist- 9/10.

Another UK act, here's Si Cranstoun. Reliable: 8/10.

Playing sax alongside Si was Alex Bland, a regular with the Tales From The Woods band.

Appearing at the Car Show, this is James Intveld. Average - 6/10.

Formerly of the Stray Cats, this is Lee Rocker. Quite enjoyable - 7/10.

Headlining at the Car Show was Little Miss Dynamite, Brenda Lee. A legend but disappointing - 5/10.

This is the Rev Horton Heat. Predictable - 4/10.

Here's the Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson. Very good - 9/10.

This is Freddie 'Boom Boom' Cannon. Exciting stuff - 8/10.

Freddie was backed by Los Straitjackets.

Here is Australian Pat Capocci.

Veteran mandolin player Scotty Broyles.

Putting on a sparkling show, this is Vicky Tafoya. Excellent - 10/10.

This is Gene Summers. Not bad but a tad disappointing- 6/10.

In the doowop segment, this is Otis Williams (and the Charms). Great to see them - 8/10.

A regular visitor to the UK, here's Charlie Gracie. Reliable as ever - 7/10.

These are the Cleftones. Enjoyable - 8/10.

From the UK, these are the Extraordinaires. Energetic stuff - 8/10.

Finally, appearing at the Champagnes bar, here's Walter Waiters with me.
