From a stifling Saturday night in July to a cold Sunday evening in March, the change in weather was no reflection on the bands performance. They were on ‘Fire Fire’ as they were last summer.

One thing that is clear from his performance is that he is a well deserved front man but unlike some he isn’t arrogant with it. He loves
