The Walkmen 

Live in concert

Birmingham

27th October 2012

We moseyed on up to Birmingham looking forward to another performance by a favourite band on top of their game.

We weren't disappointed.

A really enjoyable evening. 

The Walkmen now have a formidable catalogue of music to draw upon. 

Tonight the set list ticked all the boxes for me. 

Admittedly a shaky start but every time I have seen them they look like they could fall part within the first 5 minutes. They soon got focussed up and got the whole room moving. That drummer....well...

At one point I found myself singing along. This is most unusual for me. Most of my pals will tell you that I have a voice that can give an aspirin a headache. 

No matter. 

Rock and roll eh?

One thing to mention is I think I only counted 3 mobile phones being held aloft and only for short intervals during the entire evening. 

Excellent. 

People actually enjoying the band.

Highlights - 'Heaven', 'Juveniles, 'The Rat' and ''All Hands And The Cook'; the latter takes on a new life of it's own live. Powerful stuff indeed.

Bonus ball: Met up with James and his new bride. Good to see you both. Sorry to hear the walk back to the hotel was a stinker.

A top evening.

Come back soon gentlemen.
