Having missed out on seeing The Bootleg Beatles due to covid in 2020, and not having a chance in hell of getting to a McCartney gig where I’d get a decent view, I decided to buy a ticket for this gig. I mean, I didn’t care if they sounded or looked like them, it’s all about the songs, innit?

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.
