Tue 8 Jun – Powderfinger, Bob Evans
I got to the venue several hours early in order to meet up with two friends who had travelled from Scotland - they had met the band after the Glasgow gig and arranged with guitarist Darren Middleton that they would be able to attend the soundcheck. Once we met up, we went around the back of the Academy where James spoke to the security people and the band's tour manager and we were indeed allowed into the soundcheck where we were able to watch the band do Belter and
Iberian Dream - and make them laugh with requests ("Any chance you can do Tail?").
After that we had to go back round the front of the venue to queue up and promptly on 7pm, the doors opened and we were let in. Bob Evans came on stage at 8pm and played for about half an hour, opening with the one song of his that I knewNowhere Without You. He was joined for his final song by Powderfinger drummer Cogsy who got a massive cheer when he came on stage.
