Just seen them in Edinburgh - absolutely brilliant, what a special night. Beth was smiling and laughing at the reception they got, which was unbelievable. They did songs form their new album plus old favourites - they were on for around an hour and 40 minutes all told. If you have to beg, steal or borrow - get a ticket.
