Roadside attraction

While the weather outside was getting downright nasty, inside at the Dominion Gilmer Ditch was preparing for day two of their interprovincial two-day tour on the Ottawa Valley (they played Wakefield the night before). The band is composed of a couple of Butchers, a couple of Pumpers and one stonemason (that's not a band - bassist Danny Barber works in rock both on and off the job).

Speaking of whom, here he is with guitarist and ex-Magnificent Butcher Tony Iobi.

A fine rocking show in the tradition of the LongTimers, The Double Pumpers, TokyoSexWhale, Magnificent Butchers and sundry other 70s-loving combos.
