At the end of their North American tour if the group was tired they didn’t show it engaging and easing the crowd.

Fair enough, but I feel the need to point out that feedback isn’t always a bad thing – it’s important to know your strengths and weaknesses.

While it's true that Balthazar formed the group in 2006 and has since helmed three studio full-lengths under the name if this show was any indication their approach is far more democratic.

Similarly it is possible to apply all of these characteristics to the music of the English band Fanfarlo too.

Despite their sparse audience the band put in a stellar effort; regaling any who would listen with their brand of likeable indie pop.

It's not just what the London-based quintet play – a gentle indie folk-rock that nods variously to sea shanties waltzes and the dawn chorus – but how they play it.
