Spider Reuniting For One Final Show

(Classic Rock) Boogie-rockers Spider return from a three-decade absence later this year, with bassist/vocalist Brian Burrows revealing that brotherly love was partly behind the decision to reunite the group for one final show.

"From a personal point of view, I didn't really want it to happen," he admits. "My preference was to leave folks with their memories of four young men with energy and passion for rock music."

However, last summer the band - completed by rhythm guitarist/frontman Colin Harkness, guitarist Sniffa and drummer Rob E Burrows - appeared at a fan club meet and greet event and ended up playing a short unplugged set. Things went so well that they got together again to rehearse in private.

"Something just clicked," Burrows says. "It was fun, it was good. We all appeared to enjoy each other's company, too - so I gave in to my brother Rob's nagging."

Spider's one-off show takes place at the Santa Pod Racetrack in Bedfordshire on Saturday October 8. It will feature their original line-up (Sniffa having quit at the tail end of the original run). Read more here.
