Describe In Three Words: Contrary boy genius.

Remarkable Moment: He walks out, dressed from head to foot in white. His band, including a string section, are also dapper and spotless. But this is no antiseptic effort, because he starts to build up a head of energy under the moody lighting. The 'Casadaga' album informs the early moments of the show and 'Four Winds' is a whirling, fiddle-stafed reminder of Bob Dylan's 'Desire' period. Regrettably, the Arcade Fire are playing around the corner, summoning down the angels, and so Conor's discrete cool has a limited appeal.

Crowd Reaction: Bushy tailed.

Oxegen Rating Out Of Ten: 7
