Porcelain Roach got things off to a fine start, belting our their delicious music to the crowd who were loving every second of it, the sound was superb and the crowd were really getting into it tho the pit was a safe place to be, no violent moshing just the perfect sardine squish when people stick to one another and sway back and forth but security stepped in once when a couple tried to turn the squish into a not so peaceful place.

The crowd showed that they loved them by applauding and cheering loudily as their set ended.

Miocene were backstage, Ben went off to warm up his voice, the others sitting down chatting away and then when they got the call they made their way onto the stage greeted by cheers and claps from the audience.

I knew had zero chance of survival or enjoyment upfront so I stood behind the PA in a  failed attempt to get pictures due to the railings whilst Graham started things off as usual with the sonic assault created by his pedals before bursting into 'Free Reign' the crowd went wild, upfront they were moving as much as they could whilst singing back every word, impressive and heartwarming to know that the music had reached inside of so many people, not just here but on the tour and around the country.

Ben was wearing the 'miotool' tshirt, people were commenting on it,some didnt get it but most of them did, the band too far into their music to take notice of reality though somehow they always manage to keep an eye out on the crowd to make sure no one gets hurt, tonight was no different, Ben asking the people to look out for one another.

I headed to the back of the crowd, tapping my feet and singing along, it was a fine performance tonight, the sound was beautiful, my final night & their final night up north was going well and it was reflected onstage as they played their hearts out, mind, body and soul in every song, great music and great stage presence.

A full set got played tonight, 'Free Reign, 'Pure', 'Sustained Reaction', '9mm High & Rising', 'Shine' and to the audiences delight as well as mine and Porcelain Roachs, the first song they ever wrote as Miocene, the first song played at the first Miocene gig and the opening song at early Miocene shows 'Rivets', it had been a while but the wait was worth it.

'Fits Like That' was of course the closing song, a firm favourite with everyone ever since it appeared on that Kerrang CD last December, the crowd grooved away as the set sadly drew to a close, cheering and applause filled the room as the band said their thanks yous and goodbyes before stepping offstage and heading backstage to cool down.
