SMALL WONDER at The Point Sunderland

Small Wonder take the later live slot at The Point Sunderland on Saturday 31 October with a set built around British guitar music, classic pop and a strong mod influence. Elvis, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Small Faces and The Who all feed into the songbook, while The Jam sit right at the centre of the band’s set.

That gives this date a clearer personality than a general oldies night. A band with The Jam as a speciality is likely to lean harder into sharp guitars, punchy arrangements and songs that move quickly, even when the wider repertoire reaches back into the 1960s.

The event starts at 7pm, with Happy Hour running from 7pm to 8pm. Small Wonder are live on stage at 8:45pm and entry is free. The timing puts the band firmly in the Saturday-night slot, after the earlier Indiepalooza event elsewhere in The Point’s programme.

The mix of Beatles, Kinks, Small Faces and Who material should suit listeners who like the roots of mod and British guitar pop, while the Elvis songs pull the set slightly further back. It is broad enough to keep things moving, but the emphasis still feels much more focused than an all-purpose decades covers band.

A mod-heavy finish to October

For fans of The Jam in particular, this is the obvious draw. They are more than a token part of the songbook, so expect that sharp late-70s and early-80s British guitar sound to carry a good part of the night.
