Echo And The Bunnymen

On the menu tonight a well rounded set including material from their new record ‘Meteorites’, which served up tracks such as ‘Holy Moses’ and ‘Constantinople’, each echoing morsels of their former glory.

Pleasingly peppered with the iconic classics ‘Seven Seas’, ‘Bring On The Dancing Horses’, (ever haunting) ‘The Killing Moon’, and ‘The Cutter’ (even an abandoned ‘Zimbo – All My Colours’), alongside a couple of great Doors covers, the boys didn’t disappoint.

Although it was not always easy to grasp the long-voweled mutterings of his banter, McCulloch’s singing voice was in fine fettle throughout.

With an encore of ‘Nothing Ever Lasts Forever’ and ‘Sugar Kisses’, dessert had been served leaving this appreciative if not slightly muted crowd, satiated.
