The Rats may have had a prolonged break between 1986 and 2013 but they haven’t wasted any time since they reformed.

With a full year of gigs and festivals in 2013 and another busy year in 2014 Bobs certainly getting his money's worth out of that snakeskin suit.

The venue may have only been a third full but you would have thought that it was a bunch of 17 year olds on stage looking for their first big break.

Everything that propelled The Rats into the spotlight all those years ago is still there and they put on a great gig tonight.

The energy, enthusiasm and the singers’ foul mouth were all there to be enjoyed and the majority of the crowd did just that.

The songs and the banter in-between pushed the theme that time may have moved on and we are all a little bit older but everything stays the same, and to be able to play a thirty year old song called ‘Someone Looking At You’ in an age when there are more cameras observing us every day they may have a point.

The music and lyrics of the Rats have stood the test of time and are still as relevant and vibrant as they have ever been.

It was a good night with a band and singer that still mean what they say and believe that things can still change. It's just a shame that there weren't more people there to listen.
