When I saw Little Fish in May I was inspired to write a long piece extolling their brilliance and predicting their rise to superstardom. I particularly noted that this summer you'd still be able to buy the band a drink after the gig, but not for much longer.

At the Dublin Castle tonight I saw the balance begin to tip. There really was a significant crowd of people who had come to see Little Fish specifically, and quite a few I recognised from previous gigs. But each gig that goes along the people that have been before bring their friends. And anyone who did come tonight will surely return after a superb performance. I don't think it will be many gigs now before the queue to chat after the gig is just impossible even for people as willing as JuJu and Nez; and looking at some of the gigs they have booked before christmas you might even have to queue to get in !
