The crowd very much form part of The Lucid Dream experience - within two songs there's guys with tops off aloft on their mates shoulders and as the set progresses the pit of people dancing around, one minute lost in the minute, the next hugging their friend or a complete stranger who happens to be next to them, grows. Whilst they're away from home, there is a spiritual bond between the band and the city, as front man Mark breaks from habit and addresses the crowd to acknowledge the loss of John Hall, Denise Johnson and Chris Dench who'd formed part of the dedicated bunch of people who followed them from their early days in The Castle to the bigger gigs they're doing now. They're a one-off right now, eschewing the usual advice to create radio-friendly songs to follow their own path and create their own sound that's almost impossible to define, although we'll let bassist Mike's t-shirt do that job for us, proudly and defiantly describing them as "acid Cumbria"
