A poignant end – with the crowd waving Bye Bye – WIlko has long connections with the city of Sheffield – after all half of the breakthrough Stupidity was recorded in the City Hall, it was only appropriate he come back to say goodbye, Farewell Sheffield, as the posters said. This man must have an extraordinary constitution as the pace barely let-up in all the time he was on stage, constantly darting back and forth, machine-gunning the crowd with his iconic tele – playing it behind his head (a cheap trick – but a good one!) and during an extended Don’t Let Your Daddy Know, holding it and talking to it as if it were his teen love, face to face.īy the end of the evening he was drenched in sweat (and some of the rest of us were a tad warm too) but we had experienced a night not to be missed, a legend still at the top of his game, accompanied by a blindingly good bass player – Norman – loved the bass solo, swing, taste and melodic wit, and a sterling drummer – Dylan Howe. Sheffield is also host to the annual Tramlines music festival which takes place every summer in Hillsborough Park.Storming onstage with a cheery hello and his mighty band – Wilko rampaged through an hour and a half of solo and Feelgood classics, ranging from the opening Some Kind of Hero to the closing (extended version) of Bye Bye Johnny, revisiting such classics as Paradise, Sneakin’ Suspicion, Roxette, Out On The Western Plain, Cairo Blues, (the increasingly poignant) When I’m Gone, Back in the Night, Dr Dupree and She Does It Right – and others I’ve forgotten in the heat of the moment! Of course, the Crucible offers regular classical music performance playing proud host to the Sheffield Chamber Music Festival each May. The city’s music venues – from Sheffield student clubs to community pubs, and even the odd classical venue – continue to play their part in this success.Ĭonverted 1920s snooker hall, Picture House Social is a regular stop for touring artists, while, former fire station Bungalows and Bears provides an intimate setting for many different musicians and internationally renowned DJs. The city has long been one of the UK’s leading music cities. Sheffield has long boasted a strong musical heritage – from The Human League, Cabaret Voltaire and Def Leppard in the 1970s right through to Arctic Monkeys and Slow Club in recent decades – and that’s without even acknowledging the contribution of Messrs Cocker and Richard Hawley. Alongside the obvious choices like The Leadmill, the longest-running live music venue in the city, the Academy, City Hall, Corporation and Plug, you’ll find smaller independent venues – packing a punch all of their own. With a strong and diverse musical heritage, you’ll find many music venues, offering a variety of genres, in the city of Sheffield.
