Twisted Wheel @ The Nines, Barrow in Furness 13/11/10

After the eventful night in Leeds, the Twisted Wheel bus takes a long trip through the Lakes up to the remote small industrial town of Barrow.  Now, not many bands play in Barrow as its way off the beaten track, but, of course, Twisted Wheel are no ordinary band, if fans make a request for them to play somewhere, the Wheel will endeavour to fulfill their fan's wishes. So, on this rainy windswept night, here we are, in a fantastic venue that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of Pheonix Nights, with it's glitter ball over top the dance floor and amazing hypnotising lights behind the bar, we waited patiently for..... Peter Kay...... (only joking!)

The place is buzzing, no one can quite believe that the mighty Wheel are gonna be on the stage tonight. There's loads of kids outside (about 50 in total), come to see their heros play, but a problem with a ticket supplier has left them out in the cold, on hearing this news, in true Twisted Wheel style Jonny goes out to see them, to sign t shirts and pose for photos with them, he tells them that they will be getting passes to future gigs of their choice to make up for their disappointment - later, during the set, he dedicates 'We Are Us' to them.

The lucky ones that made it inside were in for a treat. Storming on stage, straight into 'Lucy The Castle' followed by 'Shes A Weapon'. The lads are on fire tonight, sounding fresh and tight. With newies 'New Boy', and 'UK Blues' go down excelently with the crowd. Highlights of the set were 'Strife' and 'You Stole The Sun'. All too soon, its over with 'Oh What Have You Done' closing the magnificent night's set.

Its all over for another night. Crowds of girls squeeze into the tiny dressingroom with the plan of kidnapping the lads....... They know they'e on to a good thing when they see one!!!
