Memento at The Cavern (14 Jul 23)

Memento, and their twin band Rainbow and Rock, have the happy habit of playing The Cavern in Raynes Park and I have developed the equally habit of going to see them simply because they are exactly what a great pub rock band should be.

To set the evening up nicely I walked to Raynes Park from home via Kingston Hill and Wimbledon Common.

The Memento half of the twin has a broader set list and, perhaps perversely, that means that I like Rainbow in Rock more but it is a close run thing. A big plus for the broader set list is the inclusion of Faith Healer and I had worn one of my several Sensational Alex Harvey Band t-shirts in anticipation.

Memento, like Rainbow in Rock, end the two halves of their set with long classics that everyone knows and loves; this night it was Stairway to Heaven and Freebird.

The pub played its part in another great evening by providing several excellent pints of Wimbledon Common and a great atmosphere. Include in that were several friends, acquaintances and familiar faces.

It was another superb evening in every respect.
