I Exhale was after Pearls Girl, Bells & Circles not played.

Cool venue, nice and small.

Not much in the way of merch - they were selling the dubno t-shirt and a new white Drift t-shirt, thats says.....DRIFT on it.

Agreed cool venue. Very hot & sweaty!!

Really enjoyed Justin Robertson before Underworld

Was hoping for a little more variation in the set list although enjoyed the 2 new tracks.

Overall a very enjoyable evening as always

Totally agreed. Would have loved the end of his set mixed into Juanita!

Anyone know that last track he played? “Acid.....acid.....acid”

Don't know - I know this was played just before Underworld took the stage … lovely track :)

Thats funny, at the time I wondered if that as yet another Drift snippet. Thanks for the link.

Another of my heroes was at this gig. Jon Marsh of The Beloved posted this as one of his top 5 gigs of 2018. Wish I'd bumped into him:

Underworld Village Underground 02.12 Despite owning several albums I’d never thought about going to a gig. The heavier/faster side not really me and presumably not very ‘live’. But had great reports from Mrs M and really liked the last album. Small venue, local, and very kindly gifted tickets. Open mind. Got there quite early and near stage. Watched crowd grow , groups of serious devotees, quite diverse in age & tribe. One hour set of propulsive energy, I succumbed to the tempo, the tranced-out euphoria, and the realisation that it’s utterly genuine and heartfelt and Karl obviously feels and conveys that and it resonates, and the music as ‘live’ as it needs to be/can be, because there are real people on stage and a real connection and it spoke to me which I really was not expecting.

I enjoyed this gig a lot, but for two things :

The L shaped main room saw a massive crush in the area that could see the stage. They sold tickets for both sides of the "L" based on capacity, but only people in the "I" could see.

The late stage times. I'm not 25 anymore!
