Last night, I saw the Wilders at the Eastgate Theatre in Peebles. For those who have not heard of this band, the Wilders are a four piece band from Kansas City in Missouri in the USA. They play what they term "new time,old time", which is basically a bit of Bluegrass, a bit Honky tonk, a bit rockabilly and a bit country swing.
Last night's concert appeared to be a sell out, with the Eastgate theatre being alot busier than the previous time that I went there. The band seemed to enjoy performing, and the audience definately enjoyed the gig (although I am not so sure about the four ladies who ended up covering their ears during the bands noisy version of Johnny Cash's "Going to Memphis".
A great gig by a band who were extremely talented performers (and in the case of Phil Wade, a talented dancer/shuffler).
I enjoyed the band that much, I bought three of their cds.
