To mark the relaunch (under old management) of The Victoria Inn, Derby, Twisted Wheel kindly agreed to appear at the opening night, and with the gig only arranged little under three weeks ago, it was a total sell out on the night, with people packed in to the hot n sweaty joint.
This was one of the Wheel's last gigs before locking themselves away in the studio to record their hotly anticipated second album. (only two more chances to see the band now - Napa Live in Cyprus 16/06/11 and the rescheduled Swindon gig -12 Bar, Swindon 30/07/11 - original May tickets still valid plus new tickets now available).
Being no strangers to Derby, the lads were pleased to be back playing in the town, and judging by the crowds outside the venue, the locals couldnt wait to welcome them back.
10pm, Twisted Wheel took to the stage, 'Lucy The Castle', 'Shes a Weapon', 'Racket' all prooved how much the lads appreciated being back. They played a fast tight set, superb vocals and sound tonight, mellowing out for 'Tell The World' - which the crowd loved and 'Strife' - got them chanting. Newie 'New Boy' went down a storm with the stomping guitar solo. A longer set tonight, with Jonny & Steve obviously enjoying themselves creating and unbreakable bond, instinctivley knowing what each was thinking. 'You Stole The Sun', 'We Are Us' and 'Oh What Have you Done' bringing the fantastic set to a close.
The audience loved it, chanting WWHHEEEELLLL long into the night. On the evidence of this gig, the lads have got plenty more to offer. Signing autographs and chatting to fans Twisted Wheel appreciate all the support and promise one hell of an album to come... stay tuned xx
