Since the tragic passing of Wayne Nicholls two years ago, Rapier rhythm guitar has fallen to the two guitarists who held that responsibility prior, Dave Lawes and Neil Ainsby. Depending on commitments, this dynamic duo alternate almost 50/50 on shows—surely one of most unique personnel arrangements in rock annals.
"This does give the band a slightly different repertoire depending on which member is playing rhythm for the gig," says bassist Nathan J. Hulse.
Case in point: A private, one-off club gig last night in Gillingham, Kent. "It was Dave's turn," says Nathan. So out came Searchers-style beat like Farmer John and Love Potion No. 9, hallmarks of Dave's 1983-1992 tenure. "And one of my favourite tracks from the 1961 album, Johnny Kidd's I'll Never Get Over You."
Answering a recent fan call for more Rapiers-recorded instrumentals, the lads also presented Green Jeans, their take on The Fabulous Flee-Rekkers' rocked-up Greensleeves. The Rapiers recorded that number with Dave L. of course, way back on Straight to the Point. "A pleasure to play," says Nathan.

I'd be interested in hearing. The TOS seems rather clear that it is not unless expressly approved by Amazon. I guess if the library got it in writing then they would be ok.
