British Sea Power – The Forum, Tunbridge Wells
Another BSP gig in a half-decent venue – I usually like coming here, as it’s an hour from my house and easy(ish) to park at.
The band are starting to road test some new tracks which will end up on 2017’s Let the Dancers Inherit the Party. Some of the songs on the setlist are working titles – Telstar 2 definitely became International Space Station. But I’m not sure what Spark, Man, Rocky and Matches are.
-
Setlist:
- Machineries of Joy
- International Space Station
- Spark
- The Voice Of Ivy Lee
- Remember Me
- Mongk II
- No Lucifer
- What You’re Doing
- Man
- Rocky
- Don’t Let The Sun Get In The Way
- Matches
- The Spirit Of St Louis
- Carrion
- All In It
Encore:
- Waving Flags
- The Great Skua
