CliveAid 2006 went off on Friday the 26h of May in Doncaster, England.
 The show is about to start Ten Foot Dolls
The first band out was a local band called Ten Foot Dolls, with a set of about 20 minutes.
 On fire! The technical level of the band is about average, with none of the band members standing out as particularly good nor bad. The guitarist had been with the band for about two weeks, and with the band growing this quartet might be something to watch in the future.

Stinger
Next out after a short break is another local band called Stinger, the 2006 Battle of the Bands Doncaster winners. Stinger is a quintet at the moment, featuring Jonno on drums, Chris (bass), Oliver, Gaz and Luke on guitars. At the moment they are still searching for a singer, so Oliver was handed the task of performing vocals for the night, a task he performed convincingly.
 Gaz & Luke During the first song of their set, Mr Clive Burr arrived, who later that evening expressed his amazement to Stingers potential. Is fit, the guys used the opportunity between the first and second song to make Clive feel welcome by thanking him for coming, and letting them play for him. The band rounded off their set with a cover version of Iron Maiden, a tough song to play in front of one of the guys who invented it. Still, Stinger pulled this off pretty well by all accounts.
Technically, the guys in Stinger are all above average, especially when concidering their age. It’s pretty obvious that they practice A LOT, and it pays. The bassist does manage to get that galloping sound made famous by Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, though he plays with a plectrum (which isn’t really that rock’n roll). Give these guys 4-5 years and some more stage experience, and they may hit it really big!
