It's in Barry of course - the home of Gavin & Stacey..... well Stacey anyhoo! It's a Festival they have every year with Tall ships & tacky fun fair etc. There is a seperate music stage & it's been announced in the local press that the Alarm are headlining. 8 or 8:30pm kick off. The Automatic are 6 or 6:30. Just google Barry waterfront festival & your bound too see more info.
Gig Review: Got to the waterfront and saw the Automatic play a great set. Got right to the front with my wife and The Alarm took the stage and went into "Marching on". Mike Peters was in fine form and even did a little bit of the Automatics "monster". All the classics songs were aired including "strength"! The rain held off and the crowd were in fine voice and even got the band to play an encore of "blaze of glory". Thanks Mike & co for a great gig.
Set list: Marching on, where were you hiding, loaded, strength, absolute reality, 45rpm, rain in the summertime, superchannel, new south wales, spirit of '76, rescue me, 68 guns and blaze of glory.
