There’s the frayed edges of a pop band that doesn’t take themselves too seriously, but do love what they’re doing.

Chatterton grew to a slightly feverish crescendo, and New York USA was a nice rendition capped off with a smirking reference to the Twin Towers.

Jagwar Ma gave us their top ten tracks currently buzzing on Soundcloud.

Stripped back and re-built.

A master songwriter in full bloom, Grant transcends sexuality and all those grubby personal revelations to present a very honest and human portrait of himself.

Spontaneous and unpredictable, it was another exceptional performance, both emotionally engrossing (despite any understanding of the Italian language) and visually stunning; he again showed us the importance of the pursuit of music in its many forms.

The occasional cat gurgle as he tried to get his mouth around the more wordy verses is easily forgiven as true art, true romance and true joy is always found in the imperfections.

Sometimes production-heavy albums don’t quite translate when played live. Unfortunately, that was the case when our very own Jagwar Ma brought their widely acclaimed Howlin’ to the Metro Theatre stage.
