Tonight the O2 Academy Bournemouth is filled with a mixed-bag crowd. Affection for tonight's headliners runs deep, with Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation, the first album from FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND, having been released almost 20 years ago now.
First for me was Holding Absence who I hadn’t seen previously live, a hard hitting band hailing from Cardiff, formed in 2015. The group consists of lead vocalist Lucas Woodland, guitarist Scott Carey, bassist Benjamin Elliot and drummer Ashley Green.
Funeral For A Friend are just one of those bands you can’t shake. You take a look at your throwback noughties post-hardcore playlist or browse through the photograph books of when you first discovered anything alternative.
Working in the music industry, it’s easy to become nonchalant about gigs. Even after an 18-month dearth of live music, it’s still easy to look at them as work, as ‘just another gig’. Sometimes, however, one comes around that feels different, and that it’s easy to get excited for. Tonight is one such night.
