From acoustic guitar to harmonica to shaker, Lightburn utilized his full range as a performer, leaving audience members exhilarated with his impassioned vocals and tambourine banging.
The band led by husband-and-wife duo Murray Lightburn and Natalia Yanchak took to the stage to the sound of The Imperial Death March its epic operatic sound setting the tone for the rest of the evening.
For a band who have spent the last seven years trying and failing to produce something that lived up to their break through album it looked like all was lost.
