Aftershow News: 30th June 2012

Ronnie Wood And Friends live at Hammersmith Apollo,London. The afterparty was held in The VIP bar here and not in the balcony bar.Maybe 50 people in each of the two rooms.When i first go in it looks a bit tame.The folks with the £150 premium tickets at the gig are here as are some other guests but not much is going on.Then all in one go pretty much everyone on stage at the gig turns up so we have Ronnie Wood with minder,Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor,Sharleen Spiteri and James McCartney. All are signing stuff and posing for photos.Ronnie only stays for 15 mins as there is not much free space. It was a pay bar.I stay for an hour to midnight and Bill Wyman and James McCartney were still there. I got a couple of photos of Ronnie Wood and had a nice chat with James McCartney about his future gigs.He said this year he is doing a few more festivals. A decent afterparty.
