A second opportunity in quick succession to see The Belgrave Scandal, this time at Lark in the Park - a small bar in deepest Islington, which regularly hosts gig nights. The band were on stage relatively early, but the venue seemed to fill up rapidly as they came on.
Playing without the keyboardist that they had last time I saw them, the set was again a stormer. Despite the technical difficulties which saw the drumkit constantly on the verge of falling apart, they blistered through a largely identical set to their previous London outing.
It was surprising how, the second time watching them, many of the songs sounded like familiar old favourites. The Collection, Beedy Little Eyes, and Soul And Power, were all comfortingly familiar, they all sounded brilliant, and I can't wait to hear them again. Like most bands, the recorded versions of the songs just don't seem to do them 100% justice - seeing them live completes the picture. The first time I saw them and was impressed, was definitely not a fluke - I will be following them around now, to see how they get on.
