Came across this earlier today. I can only assume the band wanted a little memento from the day they supported Quo on their Record Breaking attempt, as the camera being used is one present for taping Quos set.
I couldn't find much about Fahrenheit online, if anyone else would like to shed some light on them.
Enjoy!

Interesting stuff. Very early 90's bordering on Def Leppard-ish, which sort of makes sense. Never heard of them if I'm honest. Local band presumably.
Nazareth supported Quo in Glasgow. Who supported in the other two (Birmingham and London)? Anyone any ideas?

Who supported in the other two (Birmingham and London)? Anyone any ideas? There's nothing, and I mean nothing, at all about this band online. They couldn't have released anything, and can't have gone far. Nazareth supported the Glasgow show, and there's an audience recording of that I'm hoping to get my hands on along with the master boot of Quos set. Rattlesnake Kiss apparently supported them for the NEC show, but I've not the slightest clue. I've seen people mention FM, but I'm sure they were the actual tour support act. Wembley, not a clue. Setlist FM says Dire Straits and I can guarantee that's wrong  they were there the day prior. |

That's a different band than the one in the video. 2 of the members on the 1992 album art look like the front man and the bassist from the video, but even then I wouldn't say the discogs profile is reliable. It says the group formed in 1993, but has an album listed from 1992. The 3 songs performed live here are nowhere to be found as studio recordings, and they have another song called Tears which also cant be found. I'd love to dive into the bands back catalogue as they have a Def Leppard style to them which I like |

Dave Springfield started his musical odyssey as a rock singer with chart band Fahrenheit. Whilst with the band he toured throughout the UK and Europe taking in small venues such as The Marquee Club in London to huge events including playing to an audience of 30,000 at a Festival in Estonia. The band recorded a session for BBC Radio 1 and as a result of this were went on tour with Status Quo where the televised concerts took in Sheffield Arena and venues in Austria, Turkey & Russia.

Done a bit of digging and it appears "Fahrenheit" were a Grimsby Band, Asked a few question on a site called "Grimsby Bands" and received following replies.
Peter Cordell
They were one of the top bands locally, at the time, they did release a cd which I have somewhere
Karl 'Marv' Gallagher
John Dalton I’m friends with the bass player Dave, I remember him having a tape of their recordings but I don’t know if anything had an official release as such. I’ll certainly ask him though
Peter Cordell
I'm afraid I have no way to copy it but I can have a look tomorrow see if there is any info on it, you may be able to find a copy somewhere
Jo Anne
Peter Cordell we can copy it Pete.....Ricks got a burner.....

Received this Message from Adrian Hoe one of the former members of Fahrenheit.
Hi there might be a Fahrenheit CD in the pipeline with all past demo tapes up to the time I left the band.
There was a CD recorded after I left but from what I can make out some of the tracks went on the CD at the wrong speed so the lads couldn't do much with it, will keep you updated on this new CD when I get more details.
