NEWS / The Wonder stuff Headline Friday night!

We are really excited to have The Wonder Stuff headlining The Punch Bowl on the Friday. A band not only with a huge back catalogue of crowd pleasers but festival favourites across the country and reknowned for their energetic performances!

A quick history: Formed in 1986 they quickly got a huge following from their live performance and were signed up to Polydor in 1987. Commercial success came with their third album in 1990, the first single off it was the hit "The Size of a Cow"and after the third single from the album was released they also recorded "Dizzy" with Vic Reeves for Comic Relief which reached number one for two weeks. At this time they were played their first stadium gig to 18,000 fans at Walsall's ground. After four albums and seventeen singles they performed their final show on July 15, 1994 at a headlining performance at the Phoenix Festival near Stratford-on-Avon in front of over 30,000 fans
However the band reformed in 2000 and have been gigging and releasing albums for the last seven years.They have a new album out in April 2008 and have just released an album of BBC Sessions. Front man Miles Hunt also has a very active solo performing carrer running parallel to the bands.

A great crowd puller for any festival we are proud to have them play at B8!
