I saw them about 10 years ago and they were great.
Mike Scott may have disappeared up his own árse though, given his twittering.

I think the beauty of Mike Scott is that he has always been thoroughly up his own arse. His ability to prioritise that over commercial success is one of the things that I have always admired about him.
One of the issues with seeing them live is you have to work out which version of the band you are seeing. It changes all the time. No point in rolling up wanting to hear Fishermans Blues and Room to Roam if he is touring without the fiddle man.
Yes, this is why I'm not interested in live music. If I pay for a product, as a consumer I want that product, not what some cvnt of a jumped-up busker thinks I should get because some cvnt told him he was an artist and he swallowed it.
If I go to a concert and you decide to play my favourite song in half-time or as a fvcking calypso, I'm not going to be happy and I'm definitely not coming back.
