Great great night. Firstly, the music was out of sight. The first couple of hours were full of tough classic bedrock style bangers. Driving kick drums. All brilliant new stuff. Consistently saying to myself “wow, that’s fucking good” …………and they just suited the whole vibe. Never heard of any of them. I was fucked and at about 2 kept saying to myself when he plays a shit one I’ll go but he just kept pulling them out of bag. Much Bigger crowd this year. Usual friendly bunch. Always surprised at the diverse age range -lots there in their 20s and 30s really into this music. The energy levels in the room were really good. Had a great drink with Ed and Wasily and we bumped into Nick M who is well up for the special event next month! So much better than last year and can’t wait for Scotty’s reflections on those new tunes.
