Another Blockbuster at the Apex as Sweet turn back the years

The Apex in Bury St Edmunds was rocking last night to the sounds of the 70’s & 80’s brought back to life by the legendary glam rockers SWEET. The band has evolved recreating “live” the high energy and soaring vocals associated with the Sweet sound that is the band’s trade mark. SWEET are Pete Lincoln – Lead vocals and Bass Guitar. Bruce Bisland – Drums and Vocals. Tony O’Hora – Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals. Andy Scott – Guitar and Vocals.

It was another brilliant night at the packed Apex, a venue that seems to be loved by the performers as well as the audience, creating the most fantastic atmosphere and taking us back to our youth with classics such as Teenage Rampage, Fox on the Run, Little Willy, Wig-Wam Bam, The Ballroom Blitz, Co-Co, Funny Funny and of course Blockbuster. With more than 55 million Albums sold and 39 number 1’s around the world it is no surprise that we all seemed to know the words to every track they played.

The band is celebrating 50 years in the business and to quote their own website “The golden thread that links the past through to the present and into the future is Andy Scott”, who is now coming up to 70 and joined the band in August 1970, Andy and the band paid homage to the original lead singer Brian Connolly with a great extended version of Love is like Oxygen
