The Quireboys, known in the U.S. as the London Quireboys (even though they come from Newcastle), are a hard rock band that started in the late '80s/early '90s, getting that moniker from the 1977 comedy film of the same name.
Their excellent debut album was bluesy rock perfection but grunge was sharpening its claws in the wings and they were soon to join others in being usurped by that emerging DIY genre.
Not that it proved a problem – the venue was crammed with fans and they all came along to support the very band that over the years had never failed to provide bona fide songs and a wickedly good time.
