All three wizards are joined by gig-going pal Texas Paul as they take in a night of furious and frenzied music and Ted Chippington. A night that they were hoping would also include new sensations, Faerground Accidents, but unfortunately they weren’t able to make it. Luckily, they were still in for a treat.

In the cold light of day, it’s clear that the set was made up of the hit singles that shoulda been from the last two LPs, plus a couple of new songs: Booze & Broads & Beauty and I Am Shame. Can we expect another LP hot on the heels of this year’s? Let’s hope so.
