I arrived at the Old Fire Station in time to catch In Heaven the second support band and it turned out to be a pretty good move.

Squeezed onto the front of the already tight stage they played an excellent set to a nearly full venue. Keep your eyes and ears open for these guys in the future.

On to the main event of the evening and it’s obvious that these guys are definitely a band on the rise.

This gig sold out a fair while ago so by the time Blossoms arrived at the venue the place was absolutely rammed with people determined to enjoy every second.

All five of the guys squeezed themselves onto the stage, having to dodge around parts of the lighting rig to do so.

They started the evening with At Most A Kiss, Blow and Cut Me And I’ll Bleed from their self-titled debut album, all played without pause, before a quick break barely long enough to say hi and then straight off again with Getaway, Blown Rose and Fourteen.

For a band that released their first tracks barely three years ago, Blossoms just seem to get better and better as the days go by.

This live show in a relatively small venue was a joy to listen to as they have gelled and were as tight as bands with many more years’ experience under their belts.

You may be able to sense the light touch of the Corals James Skelly in the melodic tunes but these guys produce a sound that is all their own and should see them continue to get bigger and bigger.

Luckily for me I got to see them in the Old Fire Station where you are close to the band and the energy between the crowd and the stage can be a joy to experience when everything goes right as it did tonight.

If I had to pick a personal favourite moment it would be either their acoustic mix of Wham and Oasis or set closer Charlemagne, but why choose when a band have just delivered a whole evening of quality entertainment.
