Young Aviators - live review

Young aviators @ The Library, Leeds

13 November 2011

After two successful support slots with The Subways, it was time that 3 of Irelands finest took to the road for themselves. Touring all over this fine country of ours, they came back Leeds to give us a show that was even better than the first one at the Brudenell. A hard show to live up to, If you were there then you would know, if you wasn’t you missed one hell of a show.  

Storming onto the stage, and into a powerful opener, these guys were ready to make us get our monies worth (£4 on door and the first song gave me my monies worth). The Gaelic wit was out in full force, and not a moment went buy that these guys weren’t giving out the banter. Or selling their newly released CD, to which they laid the guilt trip on the crowd “if you don’t buy this then we can’t eat!” (Needless to say they sold some so could eat, and not wither away.)

The beautifully sung “the question is” kept the crowds eyes and ears enticed onto what was happening right in front of them. “Rabbit in the headlights” was the highlight of evening. Perfectly formed you could not ask for anything more out of these guys. They keep you on your toes and make you move them hips like you are at a Zumba class. “Better future” is a fanatically formed song that that has the potential to be turned into an anthem. An outstanding performance and people should catch them around at some point next year when they come back
