Fabulous evening. Great songs, showing vulnerability and humbleness and also anger at what is happening in the world. A surprising amount about transporter bridges but none the worse for that. Every day is a school day with Benefits!

Spoken words of contemporary outrage over and between a wall of noise , thrashing and drilling down the contempt shared by all for the ruination of the nation by the thieves and liars who run it.
