Set list wise things were rather predictable (James also threw Raindrops in to the acoustic section from the published set list), but it was thoroughly enjoyable throughout.

James mentioned as they left the stage about seeing us again at Easter, so presumably new album and tour in the new year....
I hope it does mean new stuff n gigs,cant wait.x

I love that James tours the world and holidays in Yorkshire and North Wales. On the Journal For Plague Lovers tour at Llandudno James threw a faux-strop about turning 40, and said he'd come up to Llandudno for a holiday then.
Ilkley, Llandudno. I feel like he's following me around.
Sure it should be the other way round
Ha

I wondered round the moors at Haworth a week or so back. No I'm not following you around. Did I see James? No but the heather's out in full purple. Best time of the year to go up on the wiley windy moors

Bridge and No Surface sounded sublime. Nice to see Masses get the acoustic treatment.

Agreed James full of energy Nicky subdued.

Nice setting and a 90 minute set good for festival.
Think that mght have been with with some old school mates!
