At the end of the 80s, Scottish band Del Amitri released their biggest UK hit, a song called 'Nothing Ever Happens'. The lyrics describe the apathy and futility of day to day life, lyrics which still ring true 25 years later. This year, Del Amitri announced their live return to music, having been split up for ten years. Their shows hold none of the apathy that they sing about in 'Nothing Ever Happens'. Lead singer Justin Currie is a practised show man, the longevity of the band making them an experienced group to see. Despite changes in membership over the years, they still bring a cohesive feel to any stage. Currie's ability to switch from calmer acoustic settings to bigger venues just demonstrates why they are still such an impressive band, even after the ten year break. Often feeling a bit understated, Currie's thick Scottish accent adds an extra dimension to their music through his chatting between songs. Although the band talked about being apprehensive going back to touring after such a long break and at an older age, they show no signs of tiring and whilst their audience may have aged with them, they seem just as excited for the band to be back.
