DARK CIRCLE

Introduce yourself Adrian and tell us where you hail from?

Hello all I’m Adrian from Wales.

Tell the HRH MAG readers about YOU?

I’m 50 years young from Wales where HRH started. I’m single and well known for my cooked breakfast in the morning at the festival lol.

When was your first Hard Rock Hell Festival and what was it that made you attend?

It was the 3rd HRH Festival and a friend won tickets. I’ve been going every year since.

Adrian, you are an Admin for the Dark Circle Facebook Group. When and how did this begin?

I joined DC at my first HRH. Me and Lee White just booked for the very first Hammerfest and was told about DC. So, we joined up, and after Hammerfest I set up the DC page.

When did the love of rock and metal begin for you? What or who, got you hooked?!

I started with ZZ Top, Eric Clapton then got into Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and it grew from there.

Who and when, was your first gig, can you remember how live music made you feel?

Status Quo was my first gig in the late 80s.

Do you still feel the same way about music and live events?

Yes, I do but there’s a lot less jumping around and more sitting comfortably somewhere lol.

What is your favourite genre of rock/metal and why?

I still love my old school rock, but I do love the much heavier bands like Rammstein, Lamb of God, and Devil Driver.

What is your favourite/craziest/silliest HRH memory to date?

One of the stall holders going for a walk at night time and falling off the cliff. I still chat to him whenever I see him, and he still laughs about to this day lol.

To date, who has been your favourite artist to appear at HRH? Or your favourite event line up?

Zakk Wylde. I have had some amazing chats with artist Ivan Moody. Anthrax and many more at Hammerfest II. There was an amazing line up at Hard Rock Hell House of Horrors.

What are you looking forward too most in the upcoming HRH festivals? Seeing my HRH family again and seeing bands I’ve not seen and new bands.

Tell the HRH MAG readers what it is about HRH that makes you want to keep coming back?

Over the years the HRH family has got bigger and bigger, and we all get to meet up a few times a year to see each other and have chat good laugh watch bands together.

What does being part of the DC mean to you Adrian?

Free Pizza lol. When we meet up, we get to find out what’s going on in the rock/metal world. We get to talk to each other about bands and small festivals that some of us have not heard of.
