The Mission filled in for a cancelled slot, great for them as it afforded them a warm-up gig for their forthcoming tour, and great for us as we got to see another fantastic band as well as The Stranglers!

The set list, as we remember it (not in any particular order):

  • Severina (we think)
  • Beyond the Pale
  • Hands Across the Ocean
  • Wasteland
  • Butterfly on a Wheel
  • Tower of Strength
  • Deliverance
  • Evangeline(maybe).

There were possibly more songs than that played, but we can't remember. There were also new ones, but we don't know what they were called.

The show certainly got these old Mish fans interested again! Excellent performance!
