Don’t think I’m doing the Krank, so at least a bit interested in this.

Hanging on though, in case another, more northern date is announced.

Hebden Bridge is nice in August
If anyone can British Sea Power can
Has anybody seen Woody, Noble and Yan?

Either would be a 90 mile drive for me. I've stumped up for a ticket for Oxford.

I have two tickets for this, but work is now a problem - happy to send to a good home for a slight discount - say 35 quid for the two?

If you have wegottickets account I should be able to assign them to you, or alternatively, I have the PDF.

Cheers,
Mike.

This was a good one. The Bullingdon is a small venue in a pleasant bit of Oxford well served by bars, mini supermarkets and cycle shops. The band were on very good form. Not the best BSP / SP gig I've attended but up there in the top half for sure. Good energy, great atmosphere. The set has had a bit of a shake up - no No Lucifer, no Great Skua, no Waving Flags.

The debut album was featured prominently. Someone has posted a setlist here: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/sea-powe ... 52e9a.html

I believe that the cover of The Wurzels' Combine Harvester was impromptu, and largely improvised. I didn't think that Lately worked that well as the closer but it was nice to hear it.

Abi was present.

Yan attempted to crowd-surf but the crowd was not packed that tight. However a few members of the audience gamely supported him for a minute.

Exchanged a brief greeting with Noble on my way out to the car this morning. If I'd known we were staying at the same hotel I'd have knocked on his door at 3AM and asked to borrow a groupie.

Tom did a great job again in the drum seat, though it was a bit sad to think that we won't see Woody there again.
