Tommy & his Odd Balls are one of our longest-established & best-loved bands, whose posters etc usually say 'You know what to expect', but last night was different. Long standing member John (guitar) has left & been replaced by Ant (ex The Gatecrashers/The Scoundrels) & what a difference!! Normally, Tommy works his socks off, in & out of the crowd, getting everyone singing, while the band just 'get on with it', backing him in their very competent way......but last night, the Oddballs came alive!! Ant just can't help it - he starts to play & turns into Angus Young/Pete Townsend & it's infectious! He was duck-walking, windmilling, Quo-ing - he even had Jeff moving!! They played most of their usual stuff (that music snobs call 'cheese'), but added a fantastic version of The Beatles classic 'I saw her standing there', Bryan Adams 'Run to you/Summer of 69' & brought the house down! I've seen this band more times than I can count, but last night's show was probably the best I've ever seen them! Ant is like a breath of fresh air & has given TATO a huge shot in the arm! If you want a great night's entertainment from a good solid band, & a great singalong, go & see this revitalised band - you won't regret it! here to edit the text
