The Quireboys - Live At Rockpalast 2007 & 1990 / 2 Rockpalast shows by British sleaze rock legends The Quireboys from 1990-4-4 and 2007-10-18, incl. An interview of 2007. - The Quireboys started their career in the mid-1980s at London's Marquee Club and quickly built up a steadily growing fan base in London and the surrounding area. It was only when the organizer of the prestigious Reading Festival announced in 1987 that the band would only be allowed to perform if they changed their name that The Queerboys finally became The Quireboys. - Seventeen years later, on October 18, 2007, The Quireboys accepted WDR's second invitation to perform at Rockpalast as part of the popular Crossroads Festival at the Harmonie in Bonn. Apart from Spike, Guy Griffin was the only musician from the "A Bit of What You Fancy" line-up still on stage. Jimi Crutchley had taken over the bass from Nigel Mogg. Paul Guerin (guitar), Pip Mailing (drums), and Keith Weir (keyboard) completed the lineup. "We are The Quireboys... and this is rock 'n' roll!" Spike announced at the beginning of the concert-and by now, it was clear to everyone where the musical journey would take them.
