Late March, 2010. The first time I saw wired was at The Oddfellows Arms in Apsley.

The Horns, Watford was my next sight of Wired, after having seen The X-Certs twice in a week.  Another excellent night, and Lucy also provided another picture for the ‘Feet Files’.

Hobble On The Cobbles - Aylesbury. This year’s album includes Wired, and D’Arcspire. (29/8/2010)

Wired appeared at the Beer Keller (note the spelling) in the basement of a hotel in Bracknell. Despite being a hotel, the venue could provide neither food nor a changing room for the band, who had to eat elsewhere and change in the (admittedly spacious & spotless) toilets.

Wired are ‘local’ again, at The Goat in Berkhamsted, complete with its resident know-all. Another good performance from the band, though.

Wired at The Plough And Harrow in Harpenden, which, by coincidence, I had twice driven past earlier the same day. Another nice local venue. (27/11/2010)

The Last Bar in Holborn is one of those glass-fronted city bars full of mostly office types. Wired soon has them all dancing.

Back at The Goat, Wired put on another impressive performance, despite having a member missing. The house was friendlier than usual, making it a good night out all round. (007: 21/1/2011)

It was another great night for my second visit to The Castle, this time to see Wired, who are rapidly becoming one of my favourite live bands. (010: 29/1/2011)

Wired at the Goat again - this time with a full squad. We had the drunks in again tonight, but ‘security’ soon discouraged further disruption, allowing the rest of us to enjoy the set. (014: 11/3/2011)

The full Wired squad again, for the second night in a row. This time in a new venue for both me and the band - O’Neill’s in High Wycombe. Despite battling against a shockingly inadequate house P.A., there was still a sufficiently good atmosphere generated to ensure a good evening in the end.

Wired at another new local venue - The Green Man, in Leverstock Green, Hemel Hempstead. (031: 9/4/2011)

Wired’s turn at The Blacksmith’s Arms in St. Albans. The pub layout didn’t quite suit their act, but I enjoyed it anyway. (034: 15/4/2011)

Another visit to Bracknell, where the venue has been renamed ‘The Keller’, althought their Facebook page calls it the Bier Keller (correct spelling, this time). After a slow start, it turned out to be a lively, if somewhat odd, gig. (036: 23/4/2011)

Another new venue for me - The Old Ticket Hall in Windsor. (050: 27/5/2011)

Another visit to the Plough And Harrow in Harpenden, where the band encountered a new kind of music critic. (052: 30/5/2011)

Wired return toThe Green Man, in Leverstock Green. An interesting evening. (065: 18/6/2011)

Music on The Moor (Box Moor, Hemel Hempstead) was a showcase of several local bands. Although two of my favourites, The Informers and Wired did excellent, if compressed sets, there were some notable absences, Scandal, for example. We did have a couple of nice rainbows, though. (072: 9/7/2011)

The day after Music On The Moor, Wired played at a charity event for Aylesbury Cricket Club, and had themselves a bit of fun. (073: 10/7/2011)

Wired return to The Goat, with Jimi Joyce, of Scandal, guesting for a couple of songs. (084: 27/8/2011)

Rebecca Slater’s 30th Birthday in The Union, Greek Street, Soho. Live music was supplied by Wired. (089: 8/9/2011)

Wired’s return to The Blacksmith’s Arms in St. Albans found everyone in a party mood, with some good-natured silliness towards the end. (095: 23/9/2011)
