After the beautiful venue of Sherwood, came Westonbirt which is actually an Arboretum (but didnt actually get to see any of it) as the purpose built summer stage was in a huge huge field. There was a far bigger crowd this evening, who were mainly mature male Weller fans, not so many 'youngsters' as there was the night before.
Twisted Wheel set list:
'Lucy The Castle'
'Bad Candy'
'Shes A Weapon'
'One Night on The Street'
'Strife'
'Turn Around'
'Let Them Have It All'
'You Stole The Sun'
'Oh What Have You Done'
'We Are Us'
Twisted Wheel came on stage to a warm welcome from the Gloucestershire crowd and stormed into 'Lucy The Castle'. The audience were taken aback by their energy, you could tell as there seemed to be a huge 'gasp' from the crowd with people actually saying 'wow'..!!!..
It was a slightly different set to last night, and Jonny singing different words to 'Turn Around' (I swear he does this to keep us on our toes, and yes, we do notice but continue to sing the usual words!!), the audience really loved the song, giving it the biggest cheer of the night - I suspect its the magnificent guitar solo that gets them going, it also seems to be the big 'must' for a single as if it could get enough airplay it would surely be the breaking record for the band (big time) - lets keep our fingers crossed. The crowd's second favourtie, 'You Stole The Sun' always goes down well and tonight was no exception. All too soon, we were singing along to 'We Are Us' and the end of a brilliant blistering set.
The Weller fans were truely happy, they'd seen the band that reminded them of when the great man himself was young, I heard many of them saying how great Twisted Wheel were (would be a bigger help if they were allowed to put up their huge Twisted Wheel banner tho) and that they were glad that guitar music was still going strong..!!
