Opener Foy Vance took the stage at 8pm in a jaunty cap and with an impressive handlebar mustache. If his looks aren’t your style, his voice and stage persona would probably win you over within a few minutes of his set.

The Architect - The Benevolent EP
The Architect has only been around just over a year, and as such a young band it's unfair to expect them to have it all figured out. This EP is a realistic reflection of that idea, and even through loose songwriting and poor production it's plain to see that The Architect has a future.
