You could not have fitted an extra fag paper into the Cambridge Junction last night when Johnny Marr and cohorts hit the stage. The band cranked the pace up immediately under bright white lights it really was like watching a hungry (can’t say young) new band in action.
The band really does have an energy that transmits to the crowd. With enough space to nod your head in this case, people did the best they could.
Songs came in quick succession, fired out at machine gun pace. Apart from a line about
We had a career spanning selection of songs covering, the new solo album, and nods back to days of The Smiths and Electronic. We even got a Clash (I Fought the Law) cover thrown in on the encore!
I still think there is room for a super group with Johnny on guitar down the road but in the meantime, this was a superb show.
