The Evening Session @ The Garage

Steve on stage

Steve Lamacq: "This is a bit of a special show for us because it's the first time the Session has done a proper all ages gig, and musically it's a bit of a celebration of the new 'Glam Racket'."

And a celebration it was as Easy World, Mo-Ho-Bish-O-Pi and King Adora took to the stage in various level of costume for a crowd which certainly made the effort. It was a night of energey, youthful exuberance and very loud music.

I've played a couple of 10s….about a year ago. It was awful.

Smoulder, because it's the only one we never get wrong. Two some

I think it was in Portsmouth on the last tour. We had a load of complaints that we'd only played for 19 minutes.

All the time, we are always stealing whatever. Whether it's pillows, some hotels even give you slippers.

Hear Matt take the test
