The Scottish funk-rock quintet led by Alan Gorrie and Onnie McIntyre were on fine form for their 12-song, 95-minute set, kicking off at 8:40 with the saxy, stop-start When Will You Be Mine, laying down a foot-moving groove that was the template for proceedings, and sparking a clapalong to their deft a capella
