“Sometimes, just sometimes, you catch a show that you know from the first note will be a bit on the special side. Selfish Sons’ stripped back set tonight causes instant singalong from this sold-out crowd – awesomely young, predominantly female – yet feels as close and friendly as an extended gathering of family and friends. Selfish Sons’ songwriting talent was never in doubt, but these songs – brand new and super-old – get a different lungful of air when performed like this. They may be the sort of band whose members have stories of broken bones at shows but stripped back, it’s easily enough to break hearts into a million shards. An absolutely wonderful show, and a hell of a show to be at – from the reaction of the band, tonight that includes them.”
