The Hot 8 gave a great performance and we enjoyed it but felt that the venue was too small. It was packed and I could hardly move my arms never mind dance which is one of the joys of attending a Hot 8 concert. Last time we saw them was at Tramlines on the main stage and it was wonderful to have all that space to dance to the wonderful music. The lack of space was the only reason for the score of 4.
