11 March 2015: The casual way a sharply dressed Jim Reid strolls on stage and says, "You alright? We’re going to play you some of our songs”, feels galaxies apart from the drug-fuelled years performing dosed on amphetamines, refusing to speak to the crowd, and leaving guitars out of tune.
Yet somehow, out of this riotous mayhem seeped 1985’s ‘Psychocandy’, an album the band freely recognise as “our little miracle”. Tonight is a celebration of the record, with a splattering of other classics thrown in.
