I think for me it’s probably Magenta. As Sam says about The Quireboys, it’s the sheer amount of fun they have. It’s the only band I know where the guitarist is likely to get off stage and go walkabout in the audience mid song. You can tell they’re having a good time and it kind of rubs off on everyone present.

I always assumed they were a bit crap, but then I had to watch them as they supported Saxon one time I saw them and they blew me away. They’re now one of those bands I will always go and see no matter what Yeah, I remember Andy Smith saying that before actually. He looks like he would fit in with the band too haha!

I’ve seen The Quireboys a couple of times (both at CRF), and they’ve never really done it for me. Know Andy Smith is a huge fan, though.

I was at the Springsteen gig at Wembley, and can agree that it was stunning, one of the best (if not the best) gigs I’ve ever been to I would of course agree about Mostly Autumn too, the two gigs I’ve been to in Leamington (Heather’s last gig, and December’s mammoth one) stand out the most I think. Another band that does it for me is The Quireboys, simply for the extreme fun factor they have
