Fantastic performance , new album great live. Space Shanty timeless, superb visuals 6th seeing them, they are very important influential band who need to be seen. Heard someone say if Aliens came to Earth and you had to explain dance music, you would just play them Leftfield.

great night. will rate and share, It's strange going primarily to see a support act at a gig. For half an hour, you sing along and cheer passionately to every nuance while everyone else gently applauds if the artist is lucky. He then came back and joined the headline act (with their fans asking who can it be now?) for a rendition of a single from the second biggest selling album in the world in 1983 and, yet again, there is only you and him singing - fantastic night Mr Colin Hay. BNL were great too. They may have been slaughtered for keep saying Birming - ham if they had not been on safe territory with the audience but they could play thier and relate with the crowd and if you didnt like a tune then another one came oalong 3 minutes later- no pyschedelic or prog riffs from this lot. the venue was good and staff helpful but your bum does get sore after a couple of hours on the balcony

Fantastic concert as always!! Apart from an early inconsiderate tall man standing right in front of me so I couldn't see properly

An amazing concert with Bad Pollyanna and Cruxshadows. Some absolutely awesome songs, impossible to keep still.
