Unless they only had the capacity for a 30mins set??? Some new acts these days do release singles before they have completed albums. I think that live band dance music could be the future, I think it adds some magic to a fading scene - well some areas of it anyway. Shame I missed out, I always have a good day out when I go. Glad you enjoyed it. It got brought back to 11 because of all the fuss of Brynmill residents mate, whinging load of old tarts the lot of them (you and me included)
