I was also towards the front of the crowd (about five or six rows back to the left of stage). Admittedly, after We Know Who U R I wondered whether Nick would ever be able to get the crowd going. There were so many noisy Mumford fans round me, most looking like they’d come straight from a countryside alliance meeting and having no consideration for the few of us who were there for the Bad Seeds. It was incredibly annoying until Jubilee Street kicked in and the majority of the crowd became shocked into submission. All in all, by far the best performance all weekend, I just wish that they’d headline a stage next time instead of being squeezed between two bands so completely different with a lot of mainstream appeal. Bring on October!
