Loved this gig. It surpassed my already high expectations. Bought the tickets before lockdown, so a long wait, but it was worth it! Fabulous in every way. Love the venue too.

Seen BC a few times but this was by far the best, fantastic performances and lots of crowd engagement and humour. Love him!

BC Camplight solo with a piano (borrowed due to logistics issues) at the Firebug was fantastic and strongly recommend you find a ticket for remaining dates or the full band tour. Brian is very entertaining and his voice and range where on top form. How he made such great sounds from the piano whilst seemingly throwing his hands towards it in a haphazard manner is still something of a surprise. Sticky floors, beige pre-gig food and weekly quiz night downstairs is probably fair play for the venue.
