Villagers at Royal Festival Hall last night. Slightly oddly constructed set, with all but one of his best-known songs in the first half, and he could have interacted with the audience a bit more, but overall an excellent evening, would definitely see him again. Support from Hamish Hawk, whose voice is excellent and whose songs are alright.
Reminds me of when a load of us went to see Chuck Berry in a small club in Donegal (which seemed very odd) and we were half expecting it to actually be "Buck Cherry".
It really was a magic set. My first time seeing them too! Saw them last year at the etihad and the new stuff mixed with poor stadium sound made it fall a bit flat.
It'll be so much better on the farm!
Temperatures stil poor etc, hardly a nice June BUT...
Even when its forecasting rain in the build up, it's nothing too heavy and sustained. That at least bodes well for the build and ground conditions.
