Shed Seven, Islington Academy 20.8.10
As a warm up for the V festival on of my favourite bands Shed Seven are back in town. We decided to see the support as it was Chris Helme formerly of the Seahorses who treated us to an acoustic set which included the clssics You Can Talk To Me and Blinded By The Sun alongside some of his more recent solo tunes. Pretty good.
The Sheds are always good value and Rick Witter was on particularly good form bantering with the crowd and singing excellently. At one stage between songs he gave the mic to a crowd member who sang Devil in Your Shoes brillantly! As always Chasing Rainbows closed the set which has even lengthened beyond the last version they did of it developing it into the true monster classic it should be.
