Spiritualized close Summer Sundae with classics
Spiritualized brought the Summer Sundae festival to a close in Leicester tonight (August 12)
Band leader Jason Pierce was accompanied by a string quartet and trio of gospel backing singers, playing tracks including 'Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space', 'Broken Heart', and 'Lord Can You Hear Me', finishing with a cover of gospel standard 'O Happy Day'.
Pierce looked fit and healthy after recovering from a serious illness last year. He is back on the road while putting the finishing touches to a new album, due later this year.
Elsewhere, Gruff Rhys performed from his solo album inside an enormous faux-television, his set culminating in 20 minute epic ballad 'Skylon!'.
Blues legend Seasick Steve performed two gigs today to overflowing houses in side-tents, whilst The Pigeon Detectives got the Sunday crowd chanting along during a spirited and highly interactive performance from Matt Bowman.
Meanwhile, members of former John Peel favourites Cud, say they are 'ecstatic' with their Saturday gig, wherein the band were forced to call on members of the public to act as guest vocalists after lead singer Carl Puttnam was incapacitated at the last minute. |
