It was a fantastic gig, I really only went for the AMs and they made the 4 hour drive to and from Sheffield more than worth it. I have slight concerns that Alex's lyric writing has gone off the boil, but I really love Suck it and see and on the most part the songs (Brick by Brick a definate exception) are winners.

I have a tiny bit of a crush on the guitarist who was sat on the right of Jack, such an expressive face.... must find out his name! Jack really looked like he was enjoying himself, I do hope it wasn't so much that he won't go back to Indie music. Really special gig though I loved it. I was there too!!

Romy's voice is thrilling, quite amazing and she makes it seem so effortless. Perhaps for once it would have been the right gig to get seating tickets for, it was beautiful though.

Credit to Oliver's voice as well, their is something so mesmerizing about his performance and voice, especially in Infinity. Romy's voice without saying is stunning. Didn't anyone else notice the lack of teeny boppers at the gig? i appreciated it, didn't feel quite as out of place. 10/10 i wasn’t expecting it be quite as much of a show as it was.

And even better thought they still had more to give, looking forward to seeing that extra gear being reached over the next few years.

However, I thought it was a good gig. The crowd may have been a tad naive to think every song would have had the same impact/sound as say 11th / left&right... have they actually heard the album? I thought highlights other than the obvious ones were river of brakelights and 4chords, i also thoroughly enjoyed i wish it was xmas today. After early criticisms julian's voice, i think he has done extremely well to create such an instantly recognisable and sought after sound. You have a point about the banter, needs a little work.
