Indeed, with a legacy boasting the late, great Gary Moore, Van Morrison, Feargal Sharkey, and more recently, Snow Patrol, The Answer and Kaz Hawkins, plus not forgetting of course Foy Vance and Simon McBride, it was great to witness tonight that Northern Ireland's musical history baton is being passed down into such safe hands."

"It was a packed out crowd at the Empire made up of those who already knew him and those who had been told to attend, but this really didn’t matter. Kingfish has the ability to pick up a crowd in a single hand and reach into them in any way he chooses.

"Inevitably, the fan favourites are saved for the final act such as 'Rebel Yell' as well as a generous giveaway of drumsticks and frisbees. Billy gives a shout out to his sister Jo who is in audience, and as the lyrics reveal, was the inspiration for 'White Wedding'.
