I can't work out why.' We stopped to investigate - he'd accidentally put on a pair of my NBs rather than his own. My shoes were two sizes bigger than his. So... he has form for this

Up there with one of the best support acts I’ve seen. We were downstairs with around 250 of us jammed in. The gig was that good we’ve just booked to see them again at Leeds Brudenell a week on Sunday.

Zero engagement with the audience except for one “free Palestine”, one “hello London” and one “howya doin?” Extended silences between songs made it difficult to maintain the energy built up in those songs. They went off stage for 3-4 mins about 70 mins in. Very odd.
Joopsy Nov 2024 7:11am, 23 Nov 2024 12,995 posts	0 Joopsy Been watching Fontaines since before Dogrel and its always been their way, no banter between songs and no encores. They are brilliant and I'd rather they stayed the same than trying to engage crowds between songs, unless you are seeing them for the first time you know what you are getting.

Joopsy Nov 2024 8:18am, 23 Nov 2024 12,997 posts	0 Joopsy I'm not sure of anything Dave, he is definitely doing some dates with them. I can see he is doing Brudenell.

Fitz Nov 2024 9:57am, 23 Nov 2024 3,976 posts	0 Fitz Understood, @Joopsy , and appreciate their choice not to engage in inane banter. But then I wish they’d just crack on with it - like Pixies for example - rather than leave silences between songs.
