Frank Turner
There is something pretty compelling about just a man with a guitar, especially when the lyrics are sung with such power and emotion. rank was brilliantly recieved, and it felt like much of the crowd were there just to see him, with many singing along to every witty and thoughtful word he sang.

Yourcodenameis:Milo
Despite not sounding on top form tonight, the power to size ratio of singer Paul Mullins still amazes. Although Yourcodenameis:Milo are of local origin, the reception from the crowd wasn't anything special, and though some may disagree, nor was their performance; the phrase "just going through the motions " springs to mind, although the lights of the show, and the sheer power of the noise emitted from the band were both compelling.

Biffy Clyro
It was wonderful finally to see them in a smaller venue, and they looked like they felt at home there, with every song being met with roars of appreciation from the happy fans. Opening with 57, and following with Who's Got A Match and Saturday Superhouse, there was a good mix of old and new songs, all of which had people singing along - a stark contrast from earlier in the year, when very few new songs were recognised by the any of the crowd |

A powerful and emotion drenched Justboy was followed by set ending Glitter And Trauma, but something wasn't quite right with Simon's vocals.

They were back on form for the encore and despite not having an entire
choir on stage,
Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies still worked well. Ending with
There's No Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake meant that the crowd was left buzzing on a high after a spectacular show
