I always enjoyed hearing them play.I never got up and danced but always nice to sit on a bench and listen to. They never drew a large crowd while I was there. This makes sense that they feel they can do better somewhere else.

Not a big fan, but it was always nice to listen to while walking through, or going from pub to smoking section. Would be great if they were replaced by a Pink Floyd cover band. :lol: :lol:

What is everyone's thoughts on the replacement band? They are called The English Channel. Their is a video of them on the other boards, I just don't have a link available.

Musically, they sound great but their presentation just doesn't seem so Disneyish, so Epcotish! They just look like a band you would see at your local pub. I will still give them some time since it is still their first week.

BTW, I was there at British Invasion's last set on Sat 4/30 and it was a lot of fun!

They should bring in a Led Zeppelin cover....or Iron Maiden... yes...


In all honesty I think the only live performance I've ever even stopped for in the WS is Mo'Rockin! and that was brief....

These guys were awesome - they will be missed.
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

Look at all the people who came out to see their last show. BTW That is Lion Sleeps Tonight in the video with me :-)
