Well, they’ve certainly tightened up over the last six months. Obviously suffering from tour fatigue and the imminent departure of two members last September, tonight The Acorn seemed like a completely different band to the technically-proficient miseries I witnessed back then. Taking a much energetic, rockier approach to their wussy folk oeuvre than might be expected, the new arrangements are pretty successful and unlike M.Ward they manage to hit the right mix of emotion and volume. Cheerful chaps too, engaging in amusing banter with the obligatory Windmill drunkards whilst obviously relishing the chance to play to an audience they can interact with after a long arena tour. Gig: approved.
