SWEET FA

Still recovering from last nights Sweet gig at Holmfirth Picture Drome, and what a gig it was, they were even better than last year, with 3 new members they had dropped all the acoustic numbers and replaced them with much heavier songs from their early albums and b sides to singles, Sweet Fa was a stand out number. They also did all their popular hits from the 70s. Next Gig Uli Roth on Tuesday.
