The James Felice Show.
Ian looking unconcerned, Christmas (now bespectacled...bad luck mate, I know what it feels like) looking at the audience thinking why is this hall only a third full...what's going on?... Farley was just Farley, but it was James who led the show, taking most of lead either singing or Keyboard/accordian.
A truncated 50 minute set closing Bushstock on a Saturday night with England playing at the same moment that the gig ends, and taken at a pace of a runaway train. Songs from across the canon of their work, with a number of new songs being showcased from their new collection, all appearing rather sing a long. Did a version of Lonnie Donegan's Cumberland Gap near the end of the set. Last time they covered Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town, what next?
Not their greatest gig, somewhat on par with the Troxy show some years back. Come back fresh and inspired for EOTR in late August please.
New cd Favourite Waitress sounds like a half return to the early days...Punk Americana???
7/10
