Crawdaddy Stage, Saturday 4th September, 5.15pm

Describe in a tweet: Big sound from a small man.

What happened: Lot of hype about this one - after a hugely acclaimed debut, a Mercury nomination and a memorable show at Oxegen, a lot is expected of Conor J. O'Brien and his (not so) merry men. Given Conor is one of the nicest human beings on the planet, we're delighted to report he managed to live up to expectations.

Electric Dreams: 'Pieces' is an early highlight, during which Conor does a pretty accurate impersonation of a howling wolf. 'I Saw Dead People' is as sinister as a man and his piano can make a song and also shows Conor up to be a astonishingly talented musician. 

Ants at a picnic: Feel wick for the punters who left after 'Becoming a Jackall', fifteen minutes in. They missed something very special.

EP Rating: 8/10
