Fiddlehead wrapped up the UK tour behind last year’s Death Is Nothing To Us at The Garage in London on Saturday night (2/24), but unfortunately singer Pat Flynn had to fly home for a family emergency and couldn’t play the show. But, the band posted, “Pat is adamant that tonight’s show should still happen, we have to decided to carry on with help from some special guests on vocals.” They ended up playing the show with the vocalists of opening bands Wrong Man and MSPAINT (Bjorn Dossche and Deedee, respectively) doing three songs each in the first half of the set, then Fiddlehead guitarist Alex Henery sang the next three, and they finished out the last four songs with Andrew Fisher, Alex’s bandmate in the UK-based Basement. Fan-shot footage has surfaced, and it looks like the band turned an unfortunate turn of events into a very special night, with the crowd going just as wild as they would at a normal Fiddlehead show. Check out some videos and the setlist below.
Fiddlehead will be back in the UK for Outbreak Fest, with co-headlining sets on day two from Basement and a reunion from Pat Flynn and Fiddlehead drummer Shawn Costa’s former band Have Heart. That’s one of five Have Heart reunion shows, also including Sound and Fury in LA (which Fiddlehead also play), Tied Down in Detroit, and shows in Brooklyn and Boston.
Due to a family emergency, Pat had to return home early this morning.
