A great performance well worth off a n hour of your time.

If Roxy Music blended with Pulp and a smattering of Suede had arrived in the 2020s you would get Blossoms live at reading!

Nicely stolen Jarvis stage moves.
An hour of my time? 4 minutes was enough!
They’re the new Cud, but not as Gud.
Hah! I saw them at Reading 2019, having heard their song Your Girlfriend on the radio. I realised it was their best. They covered Let’s Dance and – bizarrely – Blue Monday, both of which sailed over the heads of the young audience.

Going to have to chew that idea over for a bit and get back to you.
I thought their last album made a cracking E.P. – which may not come across as the positive remark that it is. Still, I can’t seem them ever rising into the big leagues and comparisons like those in the OP don’t do them any favours.
Also: HAIRCUTS ALL ROUND.
Thanks for the iPlayer tip, Uncle.
I did watch Ver ‘Soms and several others.
My major takeaway was that the BBC, in putting a foul language warning in front of the squeaky clean Sigrid, must be following my take that the “Mirror” single does indeed feature the phrase “you met me at a strange time and you’re w**king me”.
Like my man Pete Waterman said, “I have ears”.
I was only aware of them as the band that did the first 5000 kids in an audience thing as part of the Covid breakdown.
I had never heard anything by them before and came at this fresh and I really enjoyed it.
Wine had been taken though!
