When Rock The Valley were doing gigs in Limavady the Halloween Ball was always a good night for images. The Kiss tribute band, Hotter Than Hell, did the whole nine yards in terms of make up, platforms and the attitube, but remember it's an act. In fact they were nicest bunch of blokes you could ever meet.
I waited a long while for them to do the photo, and I wasn't leaving until I had it, their manager/press person came over to me and said, "they are ready for you now". When I walked in it was all nice accents, shakes of hands, how you doing, you're not from Limavady are you (I have an English accent in Northern Ireland, it's the first question I get). "Right lads, can you give me Kiss attitude?", no sooner I said it they were in character. Ten frames later and I had what I needed. The funny thing was that someones mobile went off and he answered it, "yes darling, I'm just in the middle of having my photo taken for the paper.... okay... yes.... love you, no you first... no...... okay....byeeeeee". As soon as he put his phone in his pocket he stuck his tongue out and gave me Gene Simmons.
