Rick Witter sharpens fists for New Year's...
oappleby by Ollie Appleby December 21st, 2001
It's going to be a Toploader vs Shed 7 Battle Royal during Edinburgh's Hogmanay Concert this year. Out of date indie-pop brawl, Fight on!

Toploader's Dan Hipgrave has publicly 'threatened to fight' Shed 7's Rick Witter after insults were traded during a recent gig at Edinburgh's Commercial Quay. Rick Witter has now threatened to headbutt Dan Hipgrave for every chime of the clock's 12 bells in response to the alleged calling of Shed 7 "arrogant" and "crap"

As he told the Edinburgh Evening News: "I'll just butt him in the face for every chime"

Both bands are performing at Leith's Hogmanay Concert in Edinburgh on New Year's Eve, with Shed 7 scheduled to play immediately before Toploader at the midnight event.

New Year's Eve could be good this time around...
