Yeah. How was it? How was it? How was it? Or maybe they're all in hospital having drumsticks removed from various parts of themselves?

yeah well... scotch egg was amazing but too short... he dived around on the floor like super mario (as someone else said somewhere else) playing his little gameboy... seriously annoyed i missed the longer set he did in the legal eagle last week... lightning bolt did indeed play in the middle of the floor, therefeore allowing everyone else to use the stage... it was very tribal (and very loud)... it was great probably but you have to be able to be get into it and throw yourself around and i was tired and unable to raise my game... some good crowdsurfin' moments and some real good stuff... bouncers didn't have a clue what the f**k was going on... they gave up pretty quickly

yea this was amazing! Scotch Egg is my new hero it must be said! I had all intentions of staying at the back for lightning bolt - i only got out of hospital after an operation last week and knew i would be annihilated - but subsequently found myself at the other side of the venue 'front row' (if you can call it that?!) for Scotch Egg. The mans a legend! Never had so much fun in the space of a 2 song set in my entire life. Cant believe I missed the Legal Eagle gig. Lightning Bolt were great - but I was pissed off I wasnt well enough to get into it and up front if you get me. Still tho that f**king drummer is sick! Deadly gig - sore ears - sweaty - success!

yeah scotch egg was my highlight of the evening.. much as i enjoyed the lightning bolt set, after a while it seemed a tad indulgent....i suppose that engaging with their music physically is key to fully enjoying and appreciating them and i wasn't able to do that, too tired, sore ankle, out of synch with my inner mosher all of which meant that i was just listening and parts of their set left me cold.... i had a smile on my face for the whole night though as both the band and the audience were having so much fun...haven't seen a crowd like that in whelans in ages! any chance of scotch egg coming back for EP or something?

Saw Mr.Egg support Go! Team last year and I dont think I've laughed as much since! Nobody knew what the fook was goin on, it was all so random. Best of all, he had misplaced his megaphone so the Go Team had made him a giant cardboard replacement with little pictures all over it. He proceeded to yell "f**k you f**k you, KFC buy one get one free" into it before chucking it into the crowd and hurling scotch eggs at everyone. HilARious. Not everyone thought so.
