Snide Remarks are now
almost ready to take to the introducing stage, the crowd has thinned a bit and
maybe being that it is 7pm the call for food has gotten the better of
most.
Having had a very
long journey down from the Middlesbrough area the night before and a stomach
bug, this however didn’t dampen any of the enthusiasm and need to entertain the crowd, lead singer
Barry Walker as always straight into his deliverance of their 70’s style punk
rock songs with a modern feel, energy is one thing that is not lacking with all
the band, a really heavy full on Bass line, drumming that falls into the
category of almost animal proportions this set against the wonderfully
technical lead guitar makes for a tight sound, songs that you can dance to,
songs like “Apologies” that you can bounce to and songs like “Millionaire” and
“Dead Pop Stars” that just scream punk rock, all in all the crowd warmed to and
enjoyed every minute of the crowd prowling front mans sweaty all energy
performance.
Tonight’s main stages
see the first clashes of the weekend. Choices to be made. Glen Matlock/Jeramiah
Ferrari, The Adicts/The Undertones, The Members/Hung Like Hanratty. We
understand why it’s necessary but that doesn’t make it any easier. Deciding to try and see half a set by
everyone, a plan that quickly goes tits up, we start with Glen Matlock and Earl
Slick.
