The Maccabees

Back on home turf and playing to a full house, The Maccabees gave the fans a show to remember. With the volume levels set to max the energy in the Dome was electric.

Orlando Weeks’ captivating voice draws you into an almost hypnotic-like state until you’re presented with a great big rhythmical slap around the chops from the rest of the band. Great!

You can’t be that good at playing the guitar unless you practise hour upon hour. Hugo White has clearly had too much free time on his hands. If you like a good old-fashioned guitar solo and bleeding ears then these chaps are for you.
