Eagle's Rock, 10.45pm

What happened: It's fifteen minutes past showtime and Foy Vance is barely hiding the fact he's beginning to flip out. He's arguing with someone onstage and that soundman at the back is getting daggers. Foy's guitar and vocal are making noise, so the majority are confused as to why he doesn't just perform. But clearly something is up - those thumps on his guitar (that will be looped to make up percussion) just don't sound right. Then, he clicks something and everything falls into place.

As he happily points out, it was entirely his own fault and not that of the no-doubt exasperated sound men. Declaring himself 'a total ******' and refusing to start the show until the guy at the back has accepted his apology and made a handshaking gesture over the crowd, Foy has already won us over. A very human (and somewhat inebriated) performer is here tonight, this could be fun...

Goldstar: 'Be With Me Baby' is a wonderful cacophony, a soulful rant, with Foy's voice more gravely than ever. Maybe those ten beers he had before performing (apparently as a bet) are pulling their weight. 'Shed a Little Light' will never, ever sound old or played out. He'll add musicians, a drummer and a guest lead guitarist, before Katie Richardson and two of her carnival contribute backing vocals to 'Guiding Light'. In a set of highlights, this somehow shines through as an appropriately poignant end to one of the sets of the day.

Lost at Sea: The very nature of what Foy does makes for a pretty unpredictable, occasionally messy show. We enjoy that side of it, for sure. Others may find it indulgent.
