Their set is quick, fun and sweaty even though they’re playing in a nice big room. Which makes you wonder where they’ll play on their next tour.

Rewriting the text-book of how to make it work, Laura Imbruglia and co. were gritty yet chilled and pulled off a rollicking set that will go down as one of those special moments where the audience really felt like part of the conversation.

The tight rhythm section holds the more expansive moments in check, and the alternating vocals are different enough to create clear distinctions in the mood of the songs. An outstanding performance from a band that should visit more often.

Amazing music, good-time delivery: Mark Sultan, take a bow.

Despite these points, Houndmouth deliver their songs with so much gusto that you can’t help listening to it again.

Beautiful music needs not horns and strings – rather a shared vision and friendship. The Shouting Matches have these qualities in spades.
