Sweaty nights in the Hope after travelling down from the NE of England..... fantastic band and so good to see and hear them on here. Thanks ever so much for posting. It would be great to see them on Tour again!

Thanks. Saw these folks at the Camden Time Machine or whatever it was called then back in the day. Best concert with an endless groove ever.

[Shivalan]

What an amazing band. I saw them several times in London, one of the very best live bands I ever saw. Unfortunately, the video doesn't do justice to their sound, but it's still great to see.
