THE WALKMEN (London KOKO, 29/08/23)

Well, that was one for the ages! A brave move to dispatch The Big Hit only 4 songs into the set (and my Lord, how spectacular that was), but the likes of "Angela Surf City" and "Heaven" were received just as, if not more rapturously. Plus, fair play to the refurbished KOKO - the sound was superb AND the air-con was on-point. I’m not even the biggest Walkman fan, but I can’t see any way they could have bettered this.
