What Happened:

Because of a temperamental vehicle, I find myself slightly tardy to the Captain Kennedy party. Thankfully things are just getting started when I arrive. The band are all smiles, and are clearly humbled at the opportunity to open up this year's Glasgowbury, and to see the crowd that's turned out for them.

On Top of the Mountain: The singer's vocals have a stunning, weather beaten maturity to them, like crushed velvet with the tones of 20 cigarettes a day. The bands, recent single, 'Stretch That Penny', goes down a treat, and is the real show stopper in a rather enjoyable set.

Slip, sliding on the slope: They finish with a barnstorming rock and roll number, handpicked out of Ike & Tina territory. But it drags on a little, and the wheels start to slow before the end of the set.
