The Bird And The Bee
Funbongo: We didn't think we would make this gig but luckily they were on at 7:15 and Calvin of Harris was on at 9:20. The two pop powerhouses were performing less than 500 metres away from each other so the double trouble gig hustle was on..
Albert Hoxton: It was like Christmas, Crufts and the changing of the guard all at once.

Funbongo: You could hear a pin drop, rarely has Albert been so quiet.
Albert Hoxton: Tis true, I even make an unholy racket in my sleep. I dream of terrible things like Nickleback, Kasabian, Snow Patrol and the 100 Years War. I shout out to Joss Stone for help but she never saves me.
Funbongo: Oh-K. Greg and Inara's beautiful tunes mesmerised the audience;the room was filled with awe and happiness.

Albert Hoxton: I liked it when they used an iPod.
Funbongo: For some reason (and we ain't complaining) they didn't bring their band, just the two of them. Greg took up the duties on the keys and acoustic guitar while Inara strummed the bass and captivated us all with her voice. In order to make up for their lack of numbers they had a record player (yes they still make 'em) to provide backing tracks. At the end we were privy to a new song, not on the album, which Greg played through his iPod.
Albert Hoxton: There was a funny moment when Greg pressed the wrong button and Ace of Base 'The Sign' started playing by mistake.
Funbongo: This didn't happen.

Funbongo: Lots of young girls and drunk students.
Albert Hoxton: I liked Vegas the most.
Funbongo: Me too
Albert Hoxton: Copy Cat
Funbongo: He was very entertaining and quite witty.
Albert Hoxton: Not as good as The Bird and The Bee though.
Funbongo: They set the bar high...
