The space walls were full of stuffed animals and cartoon characters, which basically played the role of a royal audience. Of course it wasn’t the same.

The show started with “Dreaming”a deep track of the band’s latest album, Never Enough.

Then they played “Sunshower” and “I care”before ending with the tracks “Never Enough” and “Birds”.

Yates led the band alongside Pat McCrory and Meg Mills on guitars, Franz Lyons downstairs, Daniel Fang on the battery, Tobias Moody in the saxophone, Theljon Allen in the trumpete and Troy long on the piano. During the music “Birds”As the band was surrendered to the sound, a Mosh Pit graduated in front of the makeshift stage. On the table that separated the team from the public, Yates He launched into a deadly jump and fell into the perfect position to surf over the audience in the office.
