They played ‘Back A Bit… Stop!’ from this year’s Valentina album, ‘Heather’ from 1991’s Seamonsters and ‘You Should Always Keep In Touch With Your Friends’, from their 1988 compilation of early material Tommy. Toquiwa, currently supporting the Weddoes, also came in to play a cover their tourmates’ ‘Kennedy’ – have a listen below:
