Former Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has returned with new band Hot Leg - think his previous band turned up to 11. Last week we caught up with Justin and Hot Leg guitarist wizard Pete Rinaldi for an interview at the Cardiff Barfly. Justin can't praise his new guitar partner enough and you can see the next issue of Guitarist for more on that. But for now here's some pics I took of their gear setup - as you can see both Justin and Pete are big Cornford fans.
BTW: Justin's blue/black Les Paul is the 'Black Shuck' - named after the opening track on Permission To Land and bearing the mythical dog of terror that is its namesake.
