But up first was The Horn, a five-piece who are a tour-de-force in the British indie rock scene. Delivering a nine-song setlist they exemplified their ability to infuse their music with timeless pop qualities whilst maintaining a distinct indie rock edge.

The instantly recognisable Addicted To Love opened with a spirited guitar riff, frontman Jonny Taylor's wistful vocals and an undeniably catchy chorus.
