"Full Fat arrived on stage as something of an unknown quantity to us, but left as old friends. They offered an energetic, engaging set full of diverse influences from blues, rock 'n' roll and even, dare I say it, a touch of country. The crowd were at most lively of the evening and were fully-engrossed in what was happening on-stage. Their playing was tight and even their jokes were funny. We'd book them again for sure"- Stevie Kearney - Citizen Mule Promotions
