$The Sweet + John Otway \/\/ Bury St Edmunds The Apex$

Sweet - A National Treasure and Glam Rock Royalty who have taken the world by storm for six decades.
By the early 70’s The Sweet were arguably the hottest ticket in town with a string of top ten records in the UK and Europe including Blockbuster, Hellraiser, Ballroom Blitz, Teenage Rampage and The Sixteens. Sweet perfected the art of making memorable records in a highly-competitive era.
In 1975 the USA had discovered the band with Fox on the Run hitting the number 3 spot in the Billboard 100.
"Without The Sweet there would not have been a KISS" Gene Simmons
Special guest John Otway
John’s first achieved notoriety with his eye-watering performance on Old Grey Whistle Test and subsequent hit single 'Really Free' in 1977. A heady mix of blind ambition and rank incompetence was to keep this microstar shining for almost two decades despite Otway's ability to turn any situation to his own disadvantage.
His autobiography 'Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure' out sold, by a factor of ten, all the records he had released since his hit, and now Otway is struggling to live up to this billing - selling out London Astoria for his 2000th gig in 1993, filling the Royal Albert Hall in 1998, and charting at number 9 with his 2002 single 'Bunsen Burner'. For John 'Two Hits' Otway, 'the future's bright; the future's Otway!
