Heavy rain soaked the few hundred hardy fans who turned up to see Derry’s finest play a classic set, interspersed with tracks from the forthcoming Dig Yourself Deep. New song, So Close, sat comfortably alongside other recent tracks, like Thrill Me. Unsurprisingly, though, it was songs from their first four albums that got the audience out from under their umbrellas! Jimmy Jimmy remains an excellent opener, though the crowd were more inclined towards My Perfect Cousin than the twice-aired Teenage Kicks (including an encore). Here Comes The Summer and New (Here Comes The Rain) ignited the spectators and the show was a marked success, despite everything.
