Bella and Martin were superb. Bellowhead were nervy and overwhelmed and realising that they were not able to connect in the intimate way that the pre-interval artists had achieved, which made them try even harder and look even more displaced. They seemed to be caught in an impossible follow-that moment. They were a beached whale. The last set rescued them to some extent. I don't think I'm one of those real musicians but I thought Bellowhead were way less than the sum of their parts tonight.
