Face Of Cheam

We're the Kids In America wo-oh! Was the best song of the evening, the last in a short Kim Wilde set full of hits such as Cambodia & You Came. Elongated version too, something Bryan Adams could learn from (Summer obviously!). Roy Wood came on did a hits set of Blackbury Way, Flowers In The Rain, See My Baby Jive and obviously I wish It Could Be Christmas and was enjoyable. Quo did a good first half, enough to forgive them for playing the Wanderer, and songs like Paper Plane, Big Fat Mama and the more receny Beginning Of The End were heavy boogie tracks respectable of any rock band on the planet. The encore however was appalling. The irish jig nonsense of Burning Bridges is not my cup of tea but I appreciate some of the audience do enjoy it. However afterwards songsheets came out on a stand and with Kim & Roy in tow an awful medley of Winter Wonderland and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town was played, the latter making the Springsteen version sounding like a classic.
