The choice of Fareham Town FC as the location added a unique charm.

Nicky Wilsons Foxy Wheels: A Performance to Remember

Nicky Wilsons Foxy Wheels took the stage with a confident presence that immediately drew the audience in. Opening with a song from their first album, the set then comprised of music from their current second album entitled 'Might As Well Fold'.

Key Moments from the Set

• Opening with a High-Energy Track

The band kicked off their set with the ground - shaking 'War Machine'; a song whose relentless pounding bass and drums plunge the listener into the path of the eponymous machine of war. Nicky leads this song of protest against the wasteful violence of greed with his soaring guitar solos and angry vocals, supported by the equally talented Trees.

• Engaging the Audience

Trees and Max led the charge in bringing new fans out to the main stage by distributing egg-shaker percussion instruments alongside children's sized tambourines (white, naturally - to match Trees's very own "Melanie 3"). The crowd did NOT disappoint! Trees noted many of the crowd were brandishing their percussion with pride throughout the set!

• Showcasing Musical Talent

Each band member had moments to shine, whether through guitar solos, vocal harmonies, or rhythmic percussion. Their tight coordination reflected hours of practice and a deep passion for their craft.

• Closing with a Crowd Favourite

The final song was another original - the popular "sing-along" entitled 'Dead Air'. The air was anything but "dead" as the entire crowd clapped and sang along to this catchy crowd - pleaser. This ending left a lasting impression and earned the band enthusiastic applause and cheers.

The Crowd and Community Vibe

One of the most memorable aspects of the event was the crowd’s energy. Fans of all ages gathered to enjoy the music, creating a welcoming and lively atmosphere. Families, groups of friends, and music lovers mingled freely, sharing the joy of live performance.

The festival also featured local vendors and food stalls, adding to the community feel.
