Okay so this will be biased as I am a raving fan!
I arrived late but in time to catch the last few songs of Screaming Banshee Aircrew, who were Infact better than I had expected!
I stayed at the front whilst the set was changed and before I realised it we were all packed to the front the anticipation rising to such a height you could taste the energy!
Rachel arrived on stage to screams and cheers as did then Jessica and Sarah who proceeded to warm up. Their costumes beautiful, UV yellow and white, with of course immaculate hair and Make up! They were swiftly followed by George and Jen. Until we were left wondering what had happened to Rouge!
Rachel began playing and the rest followed and we hard Rouge across the speakers and I began to take fancy to the idea that Rouge was going to play the gig from back stage! But then a tap on my shoulder and who should need a leg up to the stage but the man himself!
They played songs from Dream Cypher and their older works, and the crowd loved every minuet!
Rouge enjoyed his usual scaling the building and his favourite stool! And the well known deception dance!
Jessica and Sarah’s dancing left our jaws on the dance floor, with not only amazing choreography but also use of props like black silk scarves, masks, and staffs!
All the band really knew how to stir up the crowd, Rouge keeping close enough for those lucky enough to touch him and hold his hands! *smiles widely…wasn’t me!* The crowd danced, jumped screamed and sang especially on group favourites such are Winterborn.
They left after what felt like a short set but when checking my watch it had been a good hour and a half! We were all still wailing for more and after much teasing they returned to gift us with none other than Marilyn My Bitterness! At the end the stool returned but not for a stool dance but for us to join them upon the boards! *I was first up!!!* We all danced and raved, hugged, sang and screamed until we were cast off by the security but not before being able to have a quick chat with the members left on stage!
But that was not the end of that! Afterwards we were joined upon the dance floor by the whole band and graced with signatures, photo opportunities and banter!
