| On the
Saturday night at the HG Wells Suite in central Woking there were
three bands along with an excellent soul, mod and ska disco.
First on stage was Who's Who with a
superb tribute to the Who. Not only were the songs played
extremely well but they "acted" like the Who. The only
thing really missing was the on-stage punch up. Highlights of the
set were the tracks from Quadrophenia.

you, CAN YOU?" |
| Afterglow
played a set of Small Faces tracks, not a pure tribute band but
more an an interpretation of the Small Faces. Imagine the Fab Four
crossed with the Buzzcocks are you're fairly close.
The band played some
"rarer" songs that one hears less at the Small Faces
Convention and other gigs including the Smokey Robinson and Tim
Hardin covers. The highlight was the encore of Come on Children.
Afterglow Set List:
- Understanding
- Sorry She's Mine
- Talk to You
- Shake
- You Really Got a Hold on Me
- I've Got Mine
- Afterglow (of Your Love)
- Wham Bam Thank You Mam
- If I Were a Carpenter
- All or Nothing
- Come on Children

| It was
getting very late by the time the Jamm took to the stage but the
venue had a large crowd that was very warmed up by the other bands
and the disco. The Jamm had a rapturous reception and proceeded to
play a set consisting of all the Jam singles (except two) and a
number of album tracks. the highlight for me was, naturally, The
Modern World but there was not a poor track amongst the set.
John Southern is more like Paul
Weller than Weller himself and is ably backed by Ray "Bruce
Foxton" Begg on bass and Andy "Rick Buckler"
Cartwright on drums. Ray shone during Tube Station while
Andy Cartwright's glory moment was the explosive Funeral Pyre.
Check out Paul Weller's signed Start Rickenbacker too.
