Inviation only pass hints that this was a very intimate gig. Held at the borderline with no more than 100 people. Guests such as Fightsatr were in the crowd too. With the gig being an acoustic set there was so much emotion and the crowd were silent taking in every note of Chris Carrabba's voice.

So out comes Chris and Johnny the backing singer, the crowd give a warm welcome. With there new album Dusk and Summer out on Vagrant Records there was mixed emotions about how the set would go.

However I was pleasntly suprised when they opened with Dusk and Summer a very melodic Piano track with acoustic guitar. The song went down brilliantly and the boys from Fighstar enjoyed it too.

For such a major act the crowd were really quite. But neverless the chords of Carrabbas latest single Don't Wait pounded down the PA system and the crowd were going wild. With the wooo oooo's the crowd were joining in and loving it.

The song Stolen again taken of Dusk and summer also went down brilliantly too. Carrabbas voice shining throughout the short set,

Dashboard then finished this very initmate and close set with Bend and Not Break taken from the album A mark, A mission, A Brand, A scar. This was a favourite with the fans and again flashing lights and smiling faces showed how much enjoyment these lucky guests got.
