Everything -- from the epic sound to the lightshow -- is geared for a bigger stage. A support slot with U2 at Croke Park maybe?I don't know about the croker but i certainly thought that they have what it takes now to face big big crowds. I could picture The Great Defector at a major stage at Oxegen or the EP and it would be perfect. They're well ready to leave a lasting print in any festival mud!

I was told by Brians brother before the gig in leisureland that it was gonna happen that night and it never did so I've been hoping it would ever since

ah man, i really hope some day i'll hear it live. they should play it at the EP. surely they can find a bunch of brass players out there and they join them on stage. please?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jcTKMOCGpMfound that video of HYHIW. Very good quality. don't know if it's been posted here before. obviously shot by someone close to them considering the angles.

that was a brillllllllllllllant and lovely piece of writing/ review of gig natalie... all thats left to say is " I Miss Brian Crosby " 2 ! and i find his missing presence on stage interrupts my appreciation of bellies music WHICH i might add IT SHOULDNT/ but in a less than perfect world it does.. nice review.
