Excellent support from Byron Bay trio 'SKIN' who really got the crowd into the groove.
Not sure of the exact setlist, but tracks included
'Hello'
'The Chariot'
'Beanni'
'Manifesto'
'Days like These'
'The Wine Song'
'How to Explain?'
'Nothing'
'The Crowd'
'One, Four, Five'
'The Rhythm'
'All that Talking'
'Wandering'
'Song for the Day' (Ollie's groovin)
'Two Shoes'
The highlight for me was the beautiful duet Harry and Julie O'Hara (aka skat girl) performed of 'The Lost Song'. Spine-tingling stuff!!
We were also fortunate to witness the amazing talents of Richard and Johnny Tedesco - flamenco dancer and guitarist extraordinaire. I have never seen the entire Metro silenced. By anything. But this flamenco dancer's feet did the trick.

[EDIT: later that week I discovered that amazing skat girl's identity to be none other than the fabulous Miss Julie O'Hara].
