I head across London to see The Coral at the Cobden Club. I get into the venue; it is a Jamesons Irish Whiskey promotion for St Patrick’s Day. The girl who is organising it takes me up the back stairs to avoid the crowds pushing up the main stairs as soon as the Coral come on. I run into Florence on the stairs, she was performing earlier. Her face is covered in glitter like Natasha from Bat For Lashes. She is friendly, keen to talk, tells me she has finally found a sound. The top room is packed out. It is an acoustic set up which The Coral are particularly adapt at. Their sound is fabulous. They still bring out Ian Broudie to play guitar on a couple of numbers. James seems happier than I have seen him in a long time. They play a couple of new songs “Green Was the Colour of her Eyes” and another, more electric number . They play Bobby Darrin’s “dream Lover” and the Beverley’s “Bye Bye Love” which everyone goes crazy for and which feel quite timeless.
