Planet Rock Christmas Party - Thunder

I was one of the lucky winners of tickets to the Planet Rock Christmas party at the Carling Academy, Islington last night. Really just a free booze up upstairs for the invited VIPs and a gig with a couple of giveaways for the rest of us. The "Welsh Totty" cheated her way through the competition for the PLanet Rock anorak, we didn't mind too much, and nor did the DJ, as she provided a great view of her arse while doing so! "Nice bloke Steve" won the anorak, despite the cheating, the crowd were supposed to shout the answers not write them down for you Wendi! Geordie Dave also provided entertainment by hecking the DJs then getting up on stage for the karaoke to win himself an anorak that looked like it might be a bit of a snug fit on him...

Worth going just for the superb Thunder, a fantastic set from them, as always, even if it was a little shorter than they played on the November tour. They included the current single "The Devil Made Me Do It", with mass sing-a-long but without the crowd singing competition featured on the tour. Other songs featured included Loser, River Of Pain, Low Life In High Places, Love Walked In, You Can't Keep a Good Man Down, Love Walked In, Back Street Symphony, I Love You More Than Rock N Roll and of course the traditional set closer Dirty Love. Sadly I didn't win the Gibson guitar in the draw afterwards so trundled off home, no free booze for me either.

Looking forward to seeing Thunder again tonight at their own Christmas show at Nottingham Rock City. Will try to post details if I get the chance.
