A completely futile but largely pleasant outing. I'm not sure anybody in the audience wasn't known to the band... including large The Blue Aeroplanes and Strangelove delegations. The Aeroplanes contingent observed quietly, scratched their chins and pronounced the performance fairly distinguished. Strangelove reached a similar conclusion by way of the (altogether nobler) method of getting so slaughtered that they couldn't tell anyway. Perhaps the most notable moment of the evening was when the JBC, displaying a spontaneity and confidence rarely seen in these parts, decided that Caroline Wheeler's Birthday Present would be a good choice of second encore... despite the fact that the drummer had never played it and the lead guitarist had never heard it. Triumphantly, no-one noticed.
