Fan Review: Fielder & Firkin, Sutton, 18th December 1999.

It was a bit of a cock-up to begin with. When we turned up, there was another band playing. This wasn't Tap! Then I saw the guys standing by the bar. It turns out that the pub had double booked on bands but had allowed both Vinyl Tap and Wired to play their sets. Tap went on first, but in order to get both sets done, had to go on about 8pm instead of 9pm. Wired were actually pretty good. Good, solid Ac/Dc style rock. But I wanted Tap. Wired finished their set and I was chomping at the bit. before things could get dangerous, out stomped the guys, resplendent in their usual over-the-top costumes, the epitome of early heavy rock. But there was something different. It was probably the Santa suits!!!

Eddie stepped up to the mike.

"You want Christmas songs?" he screamed, the window behind him providing the perfect backdrop as the snow fell in a white sheet. The crowd screamed back an approval. Randy and Rick provided suitable crunch, boogie guitar as the band broke into Rocking around the Christmas Tree. Fantastic. Some of the crowd went crazy, the glam rock classics such as Merry Christmas Everyone slotting in perfectly alongside the regular tunes. As always, a bloody good gig and an excellent night.

The fun that the band has is always mirrored on the faces of the crowd - even when it goes wrong - "You know what?" shouts Eddie. "What?" the crowd shouts back. "I Wish it could be Christmas every day!" shouts Eddie. The band start playing the classic but someone is in the wrong key. "You know what?" shouts Eddie. "What?" shouts the crowd. "I wish we could pllay it!" shouts Eddie. Everybody cheers as they start again. That's the best thing about this band, they have a good time playing the music that they enjoy. See you at the next gig boys, LET'S PARTY!!!
