While I would never claim they are the best band ever or the finest song writers, I will say that they put on an absolute belter of a show, full of energy, from the band and the crowd, and that more than makes up for any other short-comings.

Got stuck in my first ever northern Irish traffic jam before hand, stand-still for an hour, really had me worried i was going to miss everything. Who ever heard of traffic jams in NI?!

The latest stuff didn’t make much impression, while not being displeasing, I just guess a few more listens might have helped.

Did get to hear some absolute crackers tho and the massive pleasure of Mogwai Fear Satan… this song has been racking up play counts for the last 6 months.

Good atmosphere, impressive support act and no issues with sound ;)

Super-strong continental market beer made the second half of this a bit hazy. Pretty enjoyable, though it felt like it just didn’t quite happen for me, cant really put my finger on it, i think maybe pre-gig excitement left me a little deflated. That aside, I have been muttering the tune to Dance Hall ever since.

Frightened Rabbit continue to impress, look forward to there eventual headline show if they come back. They seemed to appreciate the crowds enthusiasm.
