    I didn't write down a set list but here are some of the songs I can remember, some of them in the right order:
    Last Man in Europe (opening song)
    Hot for You
    You Never Ask
    Downmarket
    The Bride Wore White
    Young Gifted and Black

    Without the brass section:
    (one I didn't recognise)
    Crooked Town

    Paul solo, 4 songs I think:
    My Girl
    Some People Smile
    Animation
    Everything I Own (dedicated to his father on his 4th anniversary)

    Full band again for a few songs, including:
    Ghost of a Chance

    1st encore:
    Revelations of Heartache
    Heatwave
    2nd encore - Downmarket (again)

    It was a really great show. They got a huge welcome from the crowd at the start, and a great response all the way through. Paul Cleary was really enjoying it. They were well rehearsed and sounded great.

    Anyone here at the Saturday night show?

    Great night alright. Wonderful to hear two Partisans songs as well as all the Blades classics (Impossible and Dublin City Town). The Partisans, for those who may not know, were the band Paul Cleary formed after The Blades split. They had a six track mini-album and then split also.

    Did you see that it's available on CD on the Reekus Records website. Recorded by myself and mixed by my brother.

    There's also a stream of one of the tracks on Soundcloud.

    Sure I'm biased, but it's rather good.
