They are the first act since The Frames back in 2004 to play at the castle. It's such a great venue and should definitely be used more often.
Much to the shock of some of my friends I wasn't hugely familiar with The Coronas music and only knew a handful of their songs, but all that has changed after seeing them live. Their energy and music is contagious and they are such down to earth nice guys.
I, "of course" brought my camera and snapped a few pics and also filmed some video. I think you can see from the video the energy they put into their performance. Definitely worth checking these guys out if you ever have the chance to see them live.
The venue was so perfect and because only 2k tickets were sold everyone wasn't squashed and uncomfortable. Myself and my friends were delighted that we had our own little section and plenty of room.
I'm really hoping they plan on using this venue more for music events because I for one would go back in a heartbeat.
Playing support for The Coronas were The Academic who I'm pretty sure earned themselves a few new fans as well.
A great night was had by all and the countdown begins to the next gig at the castle.
