The doors' opening time was brought forward to 6.30 p.m. with no explanation given. It turned out a second support act had been added in the form of Cam Cole. He's a one-man band (although tonight he had an assistant on drums/percussion) who plays a down-and-dirty style of blues, drumbeat heavy with lots of distortion on his guitar and vocals. The crowd is fairly thin at this point, but they give him warm applause.

Florence Black was up next, and they effortlessly switched gears from hard to melodic rock. The Welsh three-piece created a helluva sound. Their set was great and demonstrated a great showcase of their talents. Solid!

The room is excited for Massive Wagons. I can't help but notice the surprisingly large number of tall people ahead of me and decide this gig isn't one to shoot lots of videos. Just as well because lead singer Baz is struggling with a chest infection and, mid-set, pauses the show to explain and apologise for his vocals. To be fair to him, he gives a performance that other singers would still be jealous of, his voice belting out the lyrics as best he can. The energy he puts in, even while ill, is outstanding.
The band cut the setlist short, dropping one song from the encore, which the tech crew didn't expect. Cue guitar swaps for 'Ratio'. More apologies from Baz, whom, you can tell, just wants it finished.
Get well soon, Baz, if you haven't done yourself in with that energetic performance. Don't feel bad about your vocals. You still rocked. If you do still feel down about it, remember to chat with the guys from Andy's Man Club, the suicide prevention charity you brought on tour with you. There is always someone there to listen.
