Face Of Cheam

Despite an all day thing we decided to get there for half six to see Thunderclap Newman. Something In The Air is a well reknowned classic and indeed was played here. Although Mr Newman is the sole survivor of the original three piece band, the replacement musicians including Pete Townshend nephew Josh, and drummer Mike Bryzenki (seen in Big Country, The Cult and The Alarm II previously by myself) keep true to the originals and played all of the tracks from the solitary album. They ended the set with Armenia City In The Sky, a song the Who recorded but written by Speady Keen, the original singer guitarist and songwriter in Thunderclap Newman.
Cover band The Wholoigans ended the night with a set along the Live AT Leeds period, Unfortuanately the show was over running and the fact a tube strike had just begun meant we had to leave just after they finished the Tommy segment. Still a good evening out.
