With two members of Strayhorts unavailable for the their gig at the Irish Centre it seemed that the comeback gig would have to be on hold yet again, however in a combination of guilt and a strong request Aidan and James stepped up to fill that gap.
To the surprise of the crowd and Aidan and James themselves they were welcomed and applauded after every song. Fears were that the two would be out of their depth in a such a pop-punk thirsty arena yet classic covers such as 'Mr Brightside' and 'Kids' managed to stir a slight wave of foot-tapping and head nodding even if was from their parents. Aidan cheekily noted 'I love to see peoples backs when i play' to which no heads were turned.
Diligently the two continued bringing out the Strayhorts back catalogue of Saviour, Walk On By and recently written Cracks In The Wall before playing new songs Bedsheets and Peer Pressure met with reasonable nods of approval the two left the stage knowing that they weren't exactly what people were there for but were by no means given a hostile reception expected.
