Yes! Finally having missed all but the last five minutes of their morning set on the main stage I’m here to see these Irish punks from the start. I’m so glad I did it was ruddy brilliant. I started dancin’ at the first beat and didn’t stop ‘til it was all over.

Great drinkin’ music to dance to and I’ve had a few beers today and before long I’m covered in someone else’s. The whole tent gets hot and sweaty, soaked in fact. I’ve no idea what tunes they played only that they have the same music style and feeling as the Pogues and it makes you feel great, fast, tight and heartfelt. A tremendous gig by them and the show is one of my top three performances of the weekend.
