We watched as a very well-dressed man and woman took to the stage and performed an acapella version of the sublime Rivers of Orchids, then some of the organisers said a few words, before we were treated to a short video titled Welcome To Swindon, which I think was narrated by The Actor Kevin Eldon.

I’ve been watching many videos of XTC live performances on YouTube over the past few weeks, and I can safely say Chambers is just as exceptional as he was over 40 years ago.

I’ve been marvelling in some of XTC’s back catalogue for the past week or so (I’ve not yet listened to half of their studio albums) and bloody hell, they’re rather good, aren’t they?!
