Fifty Foot Combo : A long Break or a Definitive End!
12 years of playing together isn’t easy! So Fifty Foot Combo called it a day, yesterday evening!
FFC didn’t stop because of a quarrel or so, but mostly because the band didn’t succeeded anymore in making good new stuff, according to Steven. Immediately he proclaimed that this doesn’t have to be a definitive end. Since each member of the band wants to follow his own side project right now they definitely needed a long break, but the future stays open for reunions!
For the moment the band hasn’t decided yet about a goodbye concert , but it is something that most likely will happen! Probably somewhere around Ghent!

(Cherry Red / Rev Ola CR REV 174)
Buddy Holly, American singer songwriter, pioneer of rock and roll and
the first in person to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
in 1986. "Gotta Roll!" is a first-time compendium of all of the
existing demos cut by Buddy Holly before he signed his first
commercial recording contract in January 1956. Including the four
rockabilly demos sent to Nashville in December 1955 which resulted in
his first contract with US Decca, the record label that spelt his
name wrong on the contract, unintentionally immortalizing Buddy
