No way out at The Old House at Home – Dormansland Sorry
there haven’t been any blogs for ages but we have
all been reeeeeaaaly busy with different stuff, but
hopefully that has sorted itself out now and we are back to normal. Anyway
on with the blog! We were
back on Railroads home turf (his manor) again and in the land of cheesy chips
where everything is played on full volume and in jazz fusion mode. We
arrived at 7.30 to setup, it is always difficult to get set up when the venue
is quite small, but we all slotted in there perfectly. The sound check was
done about 8.30 to a very sparce crowd and as it
was raining and blowing a gale outside we thought that would be our crowd for
the night ; what a surprise, I think that all of Dormans turned up at about 9 o’clock. It was excellent
which made us play even better. It was really great to see everyone. We
started off with ‘Shoot to Thrill’ and when we got to ‘Paranoid’ Richie and
Allan from Slack Sabbath got up and played and got everyone joining in. The second
set started with Back in Black and ended with ‘Rockin
in a free world’ with 2 lead breaks (for the benefit of Trevor the landlord)
It was a great night with a great crowd of people and we all had a fantastic
time. The
cheesy chips and bacon butties were brought out
just to top off the evening…Thank you Tina. We would
like to thank everyone for coming along to support us on a stormy night.
Thank you Richie and Allan for playing with us (so to speak) Thank you Trevor
and Tina for the hospitality. We hope
to see you all soon. The next gig is the Crows nest on Friday 20th
November. Cheers! |

The Crows Nest Friday 20th November Another gig
another fantastic evening. We started a bit later this time as people seem to
come out quite late to this venue. But from the off people joined in, dancing
and singing. The
evening started off with ‘Hell aint a bad place to
be’ followed by ‘Give me all your lovin’ ,and just
kept on rocking until 11.15 when we had a well deserved break. I don’t
know if anyone remembered but we did play a new song …I surrender by Rainbow,
which seemed to go down pretty well. Then on
again at 11.30 with ‘Back in black’ and Hells Bells’ finishing finally with
Rocking in a free world. As there were shouts for more we carried on with
‘Whole lot of Rosie’ and ‘Sweet child of mine’ ending finally at 1.15
exhausted. Jerry
had to use super glue on his fingers as they were so blistered, this only
lasted a couple of song before it wore off but at least it helped a bit. We would
like to thank all of you for coming along to see us, especially those people
who support us time and time again. It is absolutely fantastic of you. Thank
you to Tony and Sandra, For Irish Pete for singing so well on Highway to hell
and playing harmonica on Sweet home Alabama. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Tonka
for my birthday present. Hope to
see you all again soon. The next gig is at the Fountain Chichester this
coming Saturday 28th
November, then the Swan Crawley on Saturday 19th December. The Next
Crows Nest is
29th Jan. Have a
great Christmas if we don’t see you all before. |

Happy New Year to all our fans! Here we are another year gone and
at the start of one more, it looks as if 2010 is shaping up to be an eventful
year for No Way Out! Not only have we got a diary full of gigs but we also
have some new venues as well as going back to our regulars. Plus we’re
gearing up and getting ready to start recording the third No Way Out album
this year with a bunch of new stuff getting ready to go – some of which you
will have heard already and some of you haven’t (mainly because we haven’t
written it yet!). There are other things in the pipeline but rest assured No
Way Out are still here and still rocking and that isn’t going to change any
time soon! Right on with the blog: Friday the 15th January at The Swan in Crawley: Our first gig of 2010 and given the snowy weather gripping the
country thankfully it had cleared up in time for us to play at The Swan!
Getting set up and ready with the sound check out of the way we had a bit of
time to mingle with everyone who had come out to see us. Soon it was time to
kick off and with The Swan nicely packed out the first set kicked off with
Back In Black and Gimme All Your Lovin’. Right from the off it seemed as though the whole
pub was up singing and dancing with each song ending in a massive round of
applause. Pete H was on fantastic form as usual, belting out each song and
playing to both the audience and band. You Shook Me came next followed by
When A Blind Man Cries, How You Remind Me, The Boy Is A Devil, Tush, Big City Nights and Misery. Thunder’s Love You More
Then Rock and Roll followed with Shot Down In Flames, 24/7 and UFO’s Doctor Doctor ending the set to cries of more from everyone.
After a break to recharge the batteries it was soon back on with the second
set opening with AC/DC’s Rock and Roll Train and our own Holy Man. Again the
whole pub seemed to be singing, dancing and clapping along with each number
ending in cries of more and a massive round of applause. Long Way To The Top
came next followed by Paranoid, Hard As A Rock, Hell Ain’t
A Bad Place To Be, Love Is A Gamble and Hard To Handle with Sweet Home
Alabama getting everyone dancing. Highway To Hell and Rocking In The Free
World ending the show but with everyone in The Swan wanting more and Rob the
Landlord giving us the okay we did an encore of Hells Bells, Hush and Whole Lotta Rosie to end a fantastic night. Don’t forget to come visit our Myspace

Friday the 22nd January at The White Hart in
Newhaven: The first gig of a double-header weekend and with the pub
filling out nicely we managed to set up and get the sound-check out of the
way. Soon it was time to start and the first set opened with Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be and Gimme
All Your Lovin’ and right from the off the crowd
was up singing with each song ending in a round of applause. Pete H was on

and Railroad as well as the rest of us! You Shook Me came next followed by
Angel’s Cry, How You Remind Me, The Boy Is A Devil, Hells Bells and Misery.
Thunder’s Love You More Then Rock And Roll saw Pete hold the crowd and us in
anticipation with an over long pause before the set ended with Shot Down In
Flames, 24/7 and Doctor Doctor. After a break to
recharge the batteries, say hello to our fans and cool down a bit it was time
to start up on the second set with AC/DC’s Rock And Roll Train and our own
Holy Man. Again the audience was up and singing, clapping and each song ended
in a round of applause and cries of more. The set continued with Paranoid,
Hard As A Rock, Love Is A Gamble and Hard To Handle with Sweet Home Alabama
getting the pub dancing. The set finished off with Highway To Hell, Sweet
Child Of Mine and Whole Lotta Rosie to cries of
more so with the permission from the Landlord we did an encore of Rocking In
The Free World to end a fantastic night. A MASSIVE Thank you to all our fans in Newhaven who came out
to see us including Mandy, Clive, Peter and anyone else that I’ve forgotten
to mention (if you want to be mentioned tell me who you are lol!) A HUGE Thank you to the Landlord, Anne and all The Staff at

Saturday the 23rd January at Mullens
in Eastbourne: The second gig of a double-header weekend and again the pub was
filled out quite nicely – the most people we’ve ever had at Mullens! With the sound-check done and dusted we had a
bit of time to rest before the off but soon it was time to go on, Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be and Gimme
All Your Lovin’ opened the show and right from the
off everyone was singing, clapping and dancing along with each song ending in
a huge round of applause. You Shook Me came next followed by Angel’s Cry, How
You Remind Me, The Boy Is A Devil, Hells Bells, Misery and Love You More Then
Rock and Roll. Our medley of Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life and you Give Love A Bad Name got the crowd
singing as we finished the set of with Big City Nights, Shot Down In Flames,
24/7 and Doctor Doctor. After a short rest we got
back on with the second set and again opened with Rock And Roll Train and
Holy Man. Again the audience was up singing, clapping and dancing with each
song ending in a huge round of applause and cries of more. Long Way To The
Top followed with Don’t Believe A Word, Hard As A Rock, Back In Black, Love
Is A Gamble and Hard To Handle coming next. Railroad cranked open the riff to
Smoke On Water to cheers from everyone and Sweet Home Alabama got the whole
pub dancing with Highway To Hell and Rocking In The Free World finishing the
set. With an encore of Whole Lotta Rosie and Shoot
To Thrill and the crowd still crying out for more we ended a fantastic night
at Mullens. A MASSIVE Thank you to everyone that came out to see us

everyone else who came out to see us. A HUGE Thank you to the Landlady Pam and all The Staff at Mullens for allowing us to play and for their excellent

Friday the 29th January at The Crow’s Nest in East
Grinstead: Wow what a night! With the band set up and the sound-check
done we quickly ran through one of our new numbers (more on that later!) to
make sure we were happy and then it was time to relax and gear ourselves up
for the night as well as say hello to everyone. The Crow’s Nest started
filling up nicely and by the time we got up to start it was very busy. The
first set kicked off in true style with AC/DC’s Rock And Roll Train and Hell Ain’t A Bad Place To Be. Right from the off everyone was
up singing, dancing and clapping with each song ending in a massive round of
applause and cries for more. Pete H was on fantastic form as usual belting
out song after song and showing everyone why he is our front man with his
on-stage antics! You Shook Me came next followed by Angel’s Cry, How You
Remind Me, The Boy Is A Devil, Tush, Misery and
Thunder’s Love You More Than Rock And Roll. Our medley of Bon Jovi’s It’s My Life and You Give
Love A Bad Name got the whole pub singing with Big City Nights, Shot Down In
Flames, 24/7 and Doctor Doctor ending the first set
the cries of more from everyone. After a break to recharge and say hello to
all our fans it was soon time to get back on as The Crow’s Nest echoed to the
sound of the Bell from Hell as Hells Bells opened the second set. Again
everyone was up singing, dancing and clapping with each song ending in a
massive round of applause and cries of more. Hells Bells gave way to our very
own Holy Man, which flowed nicely into Long Way To The Top. Then it was time
to introduce the first of two new numbers to the set with Free’s
Heartbreaker (and no we don’t do the full six and a half minute version!),
which went down a storm and will be added to our future sets. Don’t Believe A
Word came next followed by Hard As A Rock, Back In Black (with alternative
beginning!), Love Is A Gamble and Hard To Handle before it was time to play
the second new number Saxon’s 747 (Strangers In The Night) dedicated to
Sharon and Tonka. Railroad pounded out the opening riff to Smoke On Water
with everyone singing and Sweet Home Alabama got everyone dancing, including
Sharon and Julie on stage with us, as Highway To Hell and Rocking In The Free
World ended the set to everyone crying out for more. Not wanting to
disappoint we did an encore of Whole Lotta Rosie,
Sweet Child Of Mine (with Sharon putting Craig right off during the opening)
and Thunderstruck but still the crowd wanted more so we gave them Hush and
Led Zeppelin’s Rock ‘n’ Roll to end the night hot, exhausted but very happy! A MASSIVE Thank you to everyone that came out to see us,
making a fantastic night including Ray, Gary, Jocelyn and Ken, Natalie,
Peter, Sharon (for dancing and putting both Jerry and Craig off playing) and
Tonka as well as anyone else I’ve forgotten to mention – I still can’t out
names to faces but I will get there! A BIG Thank you to Pete H’s Mum Sandra and Brother Tony for
running the merchandising stall and helping us to set up and pack away. Don’t forget to come visit our Myspace

you there! Till then… |
