Saturday, Vodafone Stage, 2.55pm

Describe in a Tweet: The spirit of rawk is alive and well in The Minutes.

What happened: It's amazing that three lads can make the amount of noise that the Minutes do. From the first track it's all guns blazing from the Dublin band, absorbing the energy of the crowd and making a huge stage their own. For those unfamiliar with the Minutes, they're a cross between Thin Lizzy and Tom Petty: bringing an almost rockabilly sound to the Vodafone Stage. Regular listeners to Across The Line will know Black Keys, a raucous anthem with guitar tones as filthy as the floor of the moshpit at the main stage. It's quite a good set from the band that remains fairly consistent in terms of quality, but without doubt the showmanship of the band helps spur things along. Frontman Mark Austin revels in the limelight and the attention, interacting with the crowd well with ridiculously inappropriate banter and the vocabulary of a pirate, swanning around the stage and at one point lying down on the floor to the delight of the sizeable crowd. A fairly stunning finale with Austin screaming in his unique manner "Jesus, don't wake up" while Shane Kinsella pounds his drumkit with ridiculous vigour.
