I've been to WP gigs since the 80s and this was one of the best I've seen. Great setlist with a few lesser known gems and the new band members were spot on.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen the Weddoes, but this was possibly the best. Bizarro is my favourite album of theirs, and David Gedge really seemed to be enjoying himself. Top night.

Gedge was brilliant. The band were tight. The crowd were up for it. Sadly, the Student Union bar had doubled their prices since the Frank Turner gig in March- conference prices?
