Celebrating 30 years of their second album On, Echobelly brought a brilliant performance to the Cluny. The night started with Father and Daughter duo Voodoo Radio who really warmed the crowd up providing lots of laughs and some excellent power-pop punk with some very comedic lyrics. A personal favourite being Ice Cream Man.
With the crowd fully raring to go, Echobelly hit the stage playing On in full which includes fan favourites like King of the Kerb and big hitters like Dark Therapy before continuing with a mixture of songs from their previous records and some rarities.
Singer Sonya Madden was clearly enjoying herself, smiling from ear to ear while nailing the classics and joking with the crowd. It was also lovely to see a mix of all ages in the crowd appreciating one of the best and under-appreciated 90s Britpop bands. It is a testament to the whole group that they pull such a diverse crowd and have them captured and engaged in the show from start to finish.
Clearly with no signs of stopping and sounding as fun and cool as ever I look forward to seeing more Great Things (see what I did there?) from this wonderful band
