After not being sure whether I was actually going to get into this gig despite knowing about it from early on and it being on my doorstep I finally got the call I'd been waiting for. There was to be no support act and 9:30pm had been given to me as a rough onstage time, on approaching the venue I could hear them starting "Antisocial" and got in just in time to start things with one of my favourite tracks, unfortunately I'd missed 4 songs as it had all kicked off at 9 but still.. I was in. 
It was amazing watching them crank out the classics with stained glass windows behind them, they all played a great show and Dan especially stood out tonight with some nice lead work along with Joey who really knew how to work the crowd, he's clearly excited at the prospect of making this line up a more permanent fixture by highlighting the amount of new (first time) fans in attence, the guitars as is often the case at this venue were not really loud enough but you can't have everything and after all.. one of my favourite bands of all time had somehow ended up playing an awesome set in the most unlikely setting of a church in Englands oldest recorded town. It was an honour. Apparently they are coming back to the UK in a few months for a full tour.
