Stuart Staples and the Nottingham songsters were there to promote their new album The Waiting Room. The first half of the gig was a sort of 45 minute greatest hits package with each dream-state song receiving more rapturous applause than the last.
Then in the second half the guys performed their new album in its entirety - each track being accompanied by its own short film. The music was excellent, the short films were brilliant.
Highlights for me were the pounding driving film to Were We Once Lovers? and the marvelously melodic We Are Dreamers!
As an encore we were treated to another 20 minutes of the bands hits.
Great stuff.
