The Fire Doors

The Fire Doors play The Fire Station on Wednesday 9 December, a tribute to The Doors that goes through their six classic albums. They're not just sticking to the well-known singles; the set follows the songs of Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and John Densmore across the band's entire studio run, from the self-titled debut right through to L.A. Woman.

What makes this one worth noting is the line-up. The band brings together four mainstays of the North East's music scene: Peter Brewis, David Brewis and Andrew Moore of Field Music, and David Hyde of The Futureheads. It's a proper local assembly of musicians who've spent years playing in some of the region's best-known bands, coming together for this particular project. They describe it as a way of sharing their first musical love and keeping The Doors' music alive.

The set is a faithful recreation of the original material, so you'll hear the songs as they were recorded rather than reworked into something else. With the full run of six albums to draw from, it's a broad look at the band's career, from the early psychedelic sound of the debut to the bluesy grit of L.A. Woman.

The gig is in the Auditorium at The Fire Station, High Street West, Sunderland SR1 3HA. It starts at 8:00pm, and tickets are £17.10, which includes the booking fee. Under-14s must be accompanied by an adult.
