Lee Limerick presents “Friends”
As a musician, I'm often asked "who's your favourite guitarist, or singer, or drummer" etc.. My answer is always "My mates". Of course I love all the big names that have influenced us over the years, but my old muckers are the guys who's playing I've had the privilege of seeing first hand, up close and often I've been right there with them.
There's nothing quite like rocking out with great musicians, so here are some of those great musicians who also happen to be my circle of friends.
A special shout out to my long time band-mate and great friend Andy Woodard. In his honour, we ask you to please visit and support Motor Neurone Disease Association if you can in any way by clicking the icon below.
