Hope and Social – The Crypt 17th October 2009

Part 2: After seeing Hope and Social at Oporto it was off to the Crypt on Saturday for a really special night. This is the guys hope turf. It is where they recorded the album ‘Architect of the Church’ and has become a very special place for them. So to watch them play the whole album live from start to finish in the place it was created, was amazing. Lots of thing for the audience to get involved before and during the gig. Everyone was invited to record the fact they had attended the gig by making hand prints on the wall and then signing below. My kids would have loved this. Also people were asked to write their own prayers and place in a box. Simon I think is going to pick one and turn it into a song. These guys like to get the fans involved and none more so by joining in with Kazoo’s! You just have to be there. Apparently they managed to get 1500 people to play Kazoo’s at Glastonbury this year – Check this video out.

Talking of video’s – we managed to record some video of the evening and will be posting a couple of them in the next few days so keep coming back to check.
