Arriving to the venue ahead of the scheduled door opening times I could see people filing into the Town Hall so I walked it and got set up. Before I knew it the lights dimmed and Badly Drawn Boy walked out onto stage to a handful of waiting ears.

Stood under a giant strawberry, The Lightning Seeds front man clearly feels at home. He and a newly assembled band are enjoying a trip down memory lane with a performance of Jollification, the first half of their gig.

Luck was on their side as the place slowly filled up with people who had been waiting a long time to see them back on stage in Ireland.

This didn't suit Broudie's beerier faithful though and tonight he rightly pitches his show somewhere between the terraces the dancefloor and the office party ramming it with hits and going all out to deliver a fatal dose of intravenous saccharine.

Maybe we would get a set of new songs or a heavier feel, or perhaps the core fans of the band would descend on Leamington from all corners of the UK.
