The Pigeon Detectives
Other Stage
Sunday
The bass pedal got the mass clapping going and from there on in The Pigeon Detectives never looked back. This gig was what I was expecting, good British indie and a good British crowd. They're the kind of band that if you weren’t a massive fan then you’d know one or two of their songs from radio or on one of those dodgy compilation albums.
Matt Bowman pulled out every trick in the book of showmanship with his mic swirling (I thought he was going to have the bass players eye out), jumping into the crowds, climbing speakers, air guitar and, of course, his favourite - getting the crowd clapping.
Without doubt it was the band's singles that stirred up the crowds, so it was tough luck for them when, as they launched into one of their new tracks, the sound went. Blissfully unaware they played through it until order was restored.
Whether this band has enough to consistently stand out from the crowd remains to be seen but it seems their next album offering has the sing-along chorus qualities that worked so well for them last time.
