FIRE: A new Fire CD was released on Angel Air Records in October 2008, entitled «THE MAGIC SHOEMAKER LIVE!». The album includes blistering versions of «FATHER'S NAME IS DAD» and «TREACLE TOFFEE WORLD». Visit www.myspace.com/2007fire for more information.

Such is the interest in Fire that the original «Magic Shoemaker» album is to be released in early/mid 2009 on Esoteric Recordings.

Not many psychedelic bands emerged from Hounslow. Fire were the 1966 exception, loaded up with songs for a concept album. «THE MAGIC SHOEMAKER» has moments of originality and true psychedelia as in the passage linking «Reason For Everything» and «Only A Dream» as well as touches of pop and R&B. Dave Lambert, founder of Fire joined STRAWBS in 1972 and still continues to tour extensively and record with them in two formats — Acoustic Strawbs and Electric Strawbs.

The recent upsurge of interest in psychedelic music led Fire to reform for two historic concerts on 30th November and 1st December, 2007, at The Windlesham Theatre in Surrey, England. The band, which consisted of the three original members: Dave Lambert (lead vocals; guitar), Dick Dufall (backing vocals, bass guitar) and Bob Voice (backing vocals, drums) played «THE MAGIC SHOEMAKER» album in its entirety, an ambition never previously fulfilled due to frustrations encountered within the music industry. Fire also played classics including «FATHER'S NAME IS DAD» and «TREACLE TOFFEE WORLD».
