Well, Loney Dear was OK and Whispertown just didn't suit Union Chapel but tonight was all about the wondrous Wildbirds and Peacedrums who put on the show of their lives. Always peerless in terms of vitality and passion, the Swedish husband-and-wife duo finally had the acoustics to give full life to their tribal drums and impassioned, wild vocals, not to mention a wonderfully respectful audience. It's no exaggeration to say the climatic duel-drumming of Today/Tomorrow was one of the most breathtaking things I've ever seen at a gig; one of those increasingly rare moments where I am left genuinely lost for words. An absolute marvel of a performance.
