Sweet - 'Little Willy' live at The Apex, Bury St Edmunds, 18 Dec 2018

'Little Willy' by The Sweet was the band's 5th hit single. On the first 5 hit singles The Sweet didn't actually play their instruments, but just did the vocals and backing vocals, and the instruments were played by session musicians. On 'Little Willy' Pip Williams was on guitar, John Roberts on bass, and Phil Wainham on drums. The band played their own instruments on all their B-sides and on all hit singles from 'Wig-Wam Bam' onwards. In 1972 'Little Willy' reached number 4 in the UK singles chart, number 3 in the USA, number 2 in Finland and Switzerland, and number one in Canada, Denmark and Germany. Sadly The Sweet's lead vocalist Brian Connolly died in 1997, drummer Mick Tucker died in 2002, and bassist Steve Priest died in 2020, but lead guitarist Andy Scott has kept the band going, and here he is performing 'Little Willy' in 2018 with Peter Lincoln on lead vocals and bass, Tony O'Hora on guitar, and Bruce Bisland on drums.

Andy's still rockin'! I live in the States and shed tears 'cause I don't have enough money to see Sweet live...I was just a baby and living in the States when the original Sweet were in their prime. Sweet's music was gold to my ears. I hope that before Andy retires, I can hop across the pond and have this experience!
