Upon entering Night & Day I was pleased to see it being almost full to the brim, though I feared this might make the guys a little nervous. It was a relief to see Jon as calm as a cucumber and the other guys having a laugh. Despite being ill, paying a silly amount for a warm bottle of Guinness (bottle?!) and having a profile positioned mohican obscuring my view of the stage, I was confident this was to be a ball breaking performance - and that it certainly was!

From what I can recall, the set started with 'Spooks' which seemed to last quite a while, but eased the audience into the Pig Condition - a very subtle opener. This was followed by a very amusing conversation between Jon and Eoin. Phil slipped into the shadows as Jon addressed the Polish members of the audience. We were then treated to 'Two Foot Toronto' which, unsurprisingly, got a lot of attention, and pleased the people sat around us. This ws followed by 'At What Cost' which made all the ladies fancy Eoin. A thoroughly enjoyable tune - very moving, but I can't shake off the boy band connotations since it was suggested. It was quite a shock when the soothing intro was interrupted by the band's agonised bellowing, but an excellent addition. In keeping with the sombre atmos, they then performed 'Late SHopping' which made me want to visit Tesco Metro. The song finished with the wild and very raw sounding 'Forever' which excitied not only myself and the aforementioned mohicaned punk, but everyone in the place - no one was still. I'd heard 'Forever' performeda lot better in rehearsal with more energy & intensity, but it still worked in wrapping up a very successful and enjoyable gig.
