The very shy Pip quietly welcomes the crowd and applauds them for coming out on such an icy cold night before they kick into their set. You can sense the enjoyment coming from the crowd as Ladyhawke belt out “Magic”, “Love Don’t Live Here”, “Another Runaway” and “Back of The Van”. When it comes to the bands latest single “Dusk Till Dawn” the crowd are jumping around to the extra long intro until the backing track skips and the band are forced to abandon their most popular hit. “Danny and Jenny” a b-side is introduced to an audience who have no clue as to what a b-side is.
The band leave the stage implying that the gig is over until Pip reappears giggling into the microphone “Oh, I always feel silly coming off when I know it’s not actually my last song.” When the band start into “My Delirium” the whole crowd are simultaneously rocking out and dancing around to the vocals of the leading lady. Ladyhawke thankfully decide to give “Dusk Till Dawn” another go. This time the intro is much shorter but luckily they make it through the song avoiding any mess ups. The gig ends abruptly, like most gigs do when the artist only has the one album, but it was obvious by the audience that Irish fans will be anticipating Pips next visit.
