Face Of Cheam

The day began with a trip to Waterloo and the Camel And Artichoke pub to watch the Man U Spurs game. A nice pub with a couple of good looking barmaids, one wearing a bandana! Spurs, including Gareth Bale, were rightly outclassed and we made our way through a few pints of Heineken.
So Spike Edneys All Star Band then. A Christmas show in January. Going to have to be a bit vague as this was a while ago and I haven’t got round to updating this until now. Support was from James Towser who is a British Superbikes Champion. He & his band did a covers set of classic rock with highlights being Journeys ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ and Aerosmiths ‘Walk This Way’. Entertaining stuff but probably more suited to a pub rather than the Indigo.
The format for the SAS Band is they have various guests come out to sing their songs. Jeff Scott Soto was early on and did a number of Queen songs, including surprisingly, Love Of My Life. Roy Wood sang I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday which was fun as well as a Move song. A bonus was Graeme Gouldman of 10cc who did ‘All Your Love’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’ and ‘Rubber Bullets’. Cheesy but classic!
Toyah did a few covers of which ‘Schools Out’ was excellent, and finally Queen’s Roger Taylor turned up for a few songs including ‘The Cosmos Rocks!’, ‘Under Pressure’ and ‘We Are The Champions’. He had his son on drums for ‘We Will Rock You’. The show ended with an ensemble of everyone singing ‘You’re The Voice’. With it ending at 11.30pm it meant we missed most of the New Kids On The Block fans who were next door at the o2 on the journey home.
