setlist
thieves like us
age of consent
true faith
regret
subculture
here to stay
transmission
bizarre love triangle
the village
your silent face
crystal
ceremony
all day long
the perfect kiss

blue monday
everything's gone green/
temptation
love will tear us apart
"we're called 'the vikings' - let me introduce the band... my name is tony curtis, on bass we have kirk douglas, on drums...ernest borgnine and over here, we have janet leigh on keyboards"
them: "do you know any elton john?" (after only 3 songs...no irony. the answer: "yeah I've heard quite a few tracks by him, thanks")
us: "that's the end of the first set. we're off to play canasta - you should drink more"
us: "this is the nearest we get to a slow song so let's dim the lights and imagine I'm lionel richie"
us: "this song is dedicated to tragic lovers now parted. in fact the whole song is a tragedy... not unlike 'steps'"
highlight: the scunthorpe lovers actually slow-dancing to 'all day long'
notes: no audio record again. you'll have to take our word that we were good. bonus for the travelling order - the arrival of the 5 song segue in second set and actual debut for 'here to stay' after 12 month gestation
