muller Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Wow. First time seeing these guys and wasnt dissapointed. Put on a good two hour set - Colin was in fine humour and interacted with the crowd really well. During Sons & Daughters he pulled loads of people out of the crowd to sing backing vocals. The main event occured in the first encore when the band were joined by Robyn Hitchcock and Mike Scott from the Waterboys. As im not familiar with either artists I dont know what songs they played. Im trying to find a set list at the moment. For now though - here is a pic. The rest are uploading as we speak. Ill post some more in a bit.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plasticeyeball Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Excellent pictures. Would live to know what songs they played. I hadn't seen a picture of Mike Scott in a long time. He almost looks the same as he did 20 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

muller Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 The support band were really good too. Lavender Diamond - folky/indie pop type stuff. Within 30 seconds of the set starting I knew I was going to buy their album / ep - which rarely happens with a support band. Great stuff. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mullersflickr...526420864/show/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saint Genevieve Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 this is the cutest picture ever I know! I don't think Robyn is actually leaning against Colin's back in that photo, but it looks like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
