LIVE BLOG FROM NOTTINGHAM ARENA

From KM.com,

2.39PM: While you were emailing in the news where you are, we were in the dressing room, where the whole band is currently chilling out, checking their emails and chattering among themselves. As they do so, they look a bit like this...

3.53PM: Some pictures from the soundcheck (we managed to get there just before Tim did - hence he's not in the pics). They are, as live blog tradition dictates, in black and white.

4.02PM: Tim is out there now. They're not actually playing songs yet, just chatting to each other and tuning up their instruments

4.11PM: Newsflash from Peru!
Peru archeologists inaugurate new museum at Sipan containing a wealth of treasures, says Isabel (me...lol).

4.21PM: The soundcheck proper has now begun, with the band blasting through a deliciously groovesome Spiralling. This is what they looked like while they did so.

5.44PM: The band are busy in meetings (seemingly about new T-shirt designs). So we snuck into the music room to take a picture of the settings on the warm-up piano...

5.56PM: This is how the band's wardrobes are looking... (I can see Tim's shirts there)

The word "vibrant" springs to mind.

6.04PM: Newsflash! We're going to do a video interview with Tim after he's had dinner. Send in your questions to ontour@keanemusic.com now...

6.08PM: Right, we're off to get some dinner. Keep those questions for Tim coming in...

6.41PM: Hey folks. Just back from dinner (roast pork, absolutely lovely) and we're going through 150+ emails picking questions for Tim (mine included...fingers crossed*)

7.09PM: The video is processing. Hmm, this could take a while.

7.22PM: OK, video coming together. Won't be too long now hopefully...

7.32PM: Right, the video is compressing.

7.41PM: The Tim interview video is on its way...

7.54PM: The video interview - filmed less than an hour ago - is live. Check it out below. Thanks to everyone who sent in a question, all of these came from you folks...


8.07PM: The band are in their dressing room, either warming up or getting dressed for the show. Stage time is in 21 minutes.

8.15PM: Are these monitors? We think they are, but we're not entirely sure.

8.36PM: The band are now on stage and have just belted through The Lovers Are Losing. Sounded grand. Great atmosphere out there too. Here's a picture of the fellas just before they went on.

8.41PM: Here are some live shots taken during TLAL. We're going to be brave and post some colour ones. The band are currently playing Everybody's Changing and the bass is making the walls of Colin's office shake.

And finally, an arty one...

9.19PM: This is how it looked on the B-stage a couple of minutes ago...

10.02PM: Here's the band drinking them...

10.18PM: Right, last lot of pictures from the show, which has just finished. We were going to get some of the band bowing together at the end but, alas, our camera battery chose to die moments before they did. Dang.

10.25PM: Ruth emailed asking to see tonight's setlist. Here it is...


11.00PM: Here's some pics we've just taken of Jesse, Rich and Tim - all of whom seem to have enjoyed tonight's show as much as Tom did.

11.05PM: And that's it from us. As ever, a huge thanks for reading and for all of your emails. It's been a blast. We'll see you again for more live blogging soon.

Goodnight.
