I was blown away by Young Fathers at their album launch gig back in February but this was an altogether bigger affair with extra drummer and singers on the big stage in the big hall with the big home town crowd. And I think the audience were really impressed and supportive of their home town champions! First of two sell out nights at the Usher Hall.
And though I loved the performance and the music, as often at the Usher Hall, the boomy, overly subby sound interfered with enjoyment for much of the set ‘til improved a bit half way through. Odd how joyful the audience can get dancing to their stirring songs, yet the guys still keep up the serious, intense looks. I think they could spare the odd extra smile for a special occasion? Still, proud of their achievements and brilliant music.
Attended by George, Mhairi, Andy, Jude and Dougal
