Oct 10, 2013 16:46 BST Boomtown Rats fly in to Shocktober Fest! The Boomtown Rats and Sir Bob Geldolf on lead vocals treated staff and zombies at Tulleys Farm Shocktober Fest Scream Park near Crawley, to a surprise personal concert today (Thursday) as they took to the halloween attraction’s WoodShock LIVE music stage as part of their pre tour rehearsals. The stage, that has already hosted The Animals & Friends at the Scream Park’s opening night on Saturday the 5th, provided the perfect acoustics and setting for the band before they embark on their 17 day UK tour. Some 27 years since their final show in Dublin in May ’86, The Boomtown Rats – Bob Geldof on vocals, Pete Briquette on bass, Simon Crowe on drums and Garry Roberts on guitar made good use of the Scream Park’s performance facilities. Frontman and lead vocalist Bob Geldof said “Tulleys Farm has been fantastic hosts and it’s a lot better here and a lot better than where we normally rehearse. It’s a bonus having the stage and being able to run through the set as much as we want. We’re looking forward to embarking on our UK tour but it’s a shame we can’t get to enjoy the haunts of the Shocktober Fest Scream Park first, maybe next year!” Launching the release of their new album ‘Classic Ratshits’ the tour kicks off in Ireland this Saturday the 12th and takes them across the length and breadth and the country. Delighting old and new Rats fans with well-known hits such as ‘I Don’t Like Monday’s’ and ‘Rat Trap’ (and many others) the boys will be working hard before they perform the last of their scheduled gigs in Aberdeen, Scotland on the 10th of November. Amongst the staff and audience of zombies and staff treated to the impromptu rehearsal set was Esmerelda, one of the actors who plays the part of a gin swilling old hag. Says Esmerelda “It was wonderful to meet Sir Bob, and I think the feeling was mutual. We’ve got so much in common. He doesn’t like Monday’s, neither do I! I don’t genuinely like the rest of the week either, but it’s a connection." Stuart Beare, creator of Shocktober Fest and owner of Tulleys Farm is delighted to have been able to help the Rats out with a rehearsal space. “I love the Boomtown Rats and it’s great to be able to offer them our WoodShock stage for rehearsing. This year we have added a live music line up to every one of our 18 fright nights and it’s proving to be welcome addition. Tomorrow night (Friday 11th) we welcome Dr & The Medics, with The Troggs, The Lambrettas and Eddie and the Hot Rods adding to the melodic mix – we can’t wait!” Shocktober Fest is an annual Halloween Festival run by Tulleys Farm, a third generation farm in the heart of Crawley, West Sussex. In its 15th year, the evening event, Shocktober Fest, has swiftly become the UK's No.1 Halloween Attraction, ensuring thrills, spills, shocks and scares in a plentiful supply.

Now although I am not necessarily a pacifist, and can easily envisage a time when I would take arms in defence of my family and my beliefs, if not necessarily my country, I have been interested in Irish history for some years. I am in a peculiar position here; I was one of the last generation of children born and brought up within the British Empire, and I truly think that in most of its facets the British Empire was a force for good, and a lot better than most of the alternatives. However, I will be the first to admit that the way we treated our closest colony across the Irish Sea was often shameful. So, there I was with Graham and my old mate Nigel Wright at a thinly disguised Sinn Fein benefit gig in North London, waiting for a rather nifty band called Dear Friends, Athenrye to come on stage.

SIR BOB GELDOF & the BOOMTOWN RATS 1975 Friends
SIR BOB GELDOF & THE BOOMTOWN RATS 1975 Friends Garry Roberts, Simon Crowe, Johnnie Moylett, Patrick Cusack and Gerry Cott formed a band in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland. Bob Geldof was originally invited to be the band's manager, but he soon found himself nominated to take on the role of lead vocals by guitarist Garry Roberts, who originally had that job and didn't want it. Playing the guitar was difficult enough for him, without having to sing as well. Geldof's ridiculous harmonica playing impressed the others hugely and sealed his fate. The band's early influences were Dr. Feelgood, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors and Bob Marley, among many others. Gerry and Pete arranged the band's first gig for Hallowe'en 1975, for a fee of £60 - not bad for 1975, under the name of The Nightlife Thugs, at the Bolton Street Technical College, where they - and Johnnie, were studying Architectural Technology. Just before the band went on stage, they changed their name to The Boomtown Rats, who were a gang mentioned in Woody Guthrie’s autobiography, "Bound For Glory". The Rats were soon causing a buzz throughout the whole of Ireland. 1976 The Boomtown Rats relocated to England in search of a record deal. They turned down a million pound deal from Richard Branson’s Virgin Records, and decided instead to sign for a new label that had been set up by former Phonogram man Nigel Grange and DJ Chris Hill. The new label was called Ensign. 1977 The Boomtown Rats played their first ever UK gig on May 6th at the Lodestar Club, Ribchester, Blackburn, Lancashire.
