The evening started well with a good set from the American Blues singer Sari Schoor. I thought I should give the support act a mention!
I have to tell you the first single I ever bought was Blockbuster so I was really looking forward to this concert. Taking to the stage with what else but Action, as the set opener, the crowd in the packed Tramshed knew they were in for a great 90 minute set.
There are bona fide classics that original member Andy Scott knows that need to be played. These were all present. The band also played new material, such as Don't give me water and Changes from their forthcoming album Full Circle which were well received by the crowd.
Lead singer Paul Mansi delivers a fine vocal performance and the band's harmonies are spot on. You can see this is a band that really enjoys playing together.
The last part of the set was filled with classics like Teenage Rampage, Love is like Oxygen and Blockbuster. The band finished with what else but Ballroom Blitz, hands lapping and voices in unison, as The Sweet proved again why they are a class act.
I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of people in the crowd in their thirties, so the band are finding new fans all the time.
Try to catch these guys if you can!
