Due to the latest consequence of this pandemic, we found ourselves the other evening at the rescheduled Biffy Clyro 'Fingers Crossed Tour' show in London. My Son and his girlfriend gifted us their tickets, when they were unable to attend.

It was an experience and 'fingers crossed' the lasting effects will only be the ringing in the ears of their performance of gut-puncher rock and a blinding light show. True to say their full on 'live' delivery of songs does lose some of the subtle nuances that are more apparent on the album recordings. This was pretty much a Scottish 'Wall of Sound' from start to finish.

We have had a Biffy Clyro 'Star Track' before, way back in 2015*, so nearly 6 years ago now. Those unfamiliar with them, they are listed as 'Alternative rock, progressive rock, alternative metal and post hardcore'. The setlist the other night did include a few quieter moments - in the words of singer Simon Neil "this song is the first time that it takes a wee breather.”

'Live' from their headline show at the Reading Festival back in August - this is 'Space' >
