ITC09: Welcome to day 2 with Tim & Sam @ Night + Day

Phew. We made it through day 1 - just about anyway. So still bleary-eyed it's really rather nice to be able to wander into Night + Day to catch Tim & Sam's Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam - especially on their third birthday.

Having been touring with a fairly permanent band set-up for a while has done Tim & Sam a world of good, getting them back to that place where everything is well honed and very together; it barely takes two bars before I'm smiling and getting that slight shiver down the spine. The electric guitars which sounded slightly out of place at ITC07 have really found their place, helping to build each song to a glorious crescendo, and, well, they just have that seemingly innate knack of making you very, very happy. After all, who can resist it when most of the band start drumming with only a glock for company?
