Zac Thompson got things under way beginning with a version of the John Legend hit song All of Me, and continuing with one of his own compositions, Let It All Out. Zac’s powerful and emotive singing was in evidence throughout on songs such as George Ezra’s Blame It On Me, and the Killers staple Mr. Brightside which even had some of the audience up on the dance floor.
Larkins are a 4-piece band from Manchester, but they were without their bass player for this gig. With this in mind, the drummer played a lighter and more percussive role behind acoustic guitar and an effects drenched electric, for a set that seemed heavily influenced by 80s pop. Notable tracks were their version of London Grammar’s Strong and one of their own brand new songs called Athena.
