Critic Consensus
Based on 18 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that The Phantom Band is rated as an enjoyable live performer, with decent shows overall. The Phantom Band concert reviews describe live shows and performances as pompous.
A charred smell lingers on the street though and for the Phantom Band – a 12-legged folk-groove machine with personal links to the iconic school – this gig is part celebratory album-launch part tribute to a scarred landmark.
It seems few people have as a bulging sweaty and uncomfortable Cabaret Voltaire plays host to one of the final shows of the group's gruelling European tour.
With nary a bad song in their repertoire and playing the superb oran Mor to an eager almost ecstatic homecoming crowd it would have taken some doing for The Phantom Band to have put on anything less than an exemplary show tonight.
