WGW Day 2: The Bands

Fully dressed up and a bottle of wine downed before we left we descended on The Spa for a night of musical entertainment.

LAST JULY
It was second time lucky for Last July as last April's performance was cut short due to technical difficulties (not to mention them going on early). No problems this time round though with us being there in plenty of time and the technical demons staying away. A fantastic way to open the night with a great audience receiving them with open arms. Strong songs from this electro goth four piece.

DUTCH ORDER
Dutch Order returned to the WGW stage with a post punk onslaught. Some fantastic new material was aired from their debut album. Their Joy Division, Talking Heads mash up was a joy to behold.

INERTIA
Sadly it was a disappointment to see Inertia tonight. I've seen them before and am a big fan but they just seemed a bit off to me. Not that my opinion counted for much as they had a good crowd and plenty of people dancing. 20 years on and still going strong with some good new material to compliment their older stuff.

FANGS ON FUR
BAM! Fangs On Fur hit the stage with a full on punk explosion! This was no frills rock n roll. It wasn' big and it wasn't clever but boy did it have one hell of a bounce to it! Most enjoyable set with a good natured mosh pit going on.

Not sure this met any health and safety requirements but even the sound engineers took a photo of it and laughed!

MESH
It's not often you see a bunch of goths clapping with their hands above their heads but it was there tonight. Mesh delivered up catchy sing a long electronica which generated much singing along! A good polished performance that was well received.

It was another great night of music at WGW and it was really good to see so many people there on the Friday night. I have high expectations for tomorrow night!
