    They are a great live act and have seriously refined their act since that first gig in the Courtyard of Trinity Rooms 3 years ago (in front of 30 people). You won't be disappointed.

    The sound quality for this video is amazing, the camera must have been directly linked to the P.A.

    No due to a sellout, and wanting to 'raise more money for the charity' they moved it into Dolans Warehouse.

    Since when does Dolan's hold more than a rugby pitch?

    It was the 10,000 sq ft marquee they were supposed to play in. A lot of people had paid to see them and ended up leaving before they came on, as they had three support acts, they only came on at 11.55pm and left the stage at approx 12.25am - bit of a scam and not as good as I had hoped.

    Saying that the highlights of the night were the first support act (beatle-esque band) and the last (campaign LK).

    The Bandits have always done that though. I've seen em twice and it was the very same as you described.

    I have to say I'm standing by my words, I was there and it was a combination of the atmosphere and the unexpected eerie sound of that tune (it was the first time I heard it). Great opener.
