The Cornish Bank, FalmouthThe eclectic Brighton band launch a brand new venue in style on the opening night of their long-awaited tour
This is a night of firsts. The first time Brighton five-piece Squid have performed live in 18 months, and the first time their audience have experienced socially distanced gigs – we sit politely in discrete rows of chairs, and there are giggles as we find out that you order your drinks by text message. It’s also the first time anyone has taken to the stage in this newly converted former bank in Falmouth’s bohemian quarter.
What’s more, it’s the first time anyone has heard the work-in-progress songs that form the backbone of Squid’s set (they are not here to promote their recent, well received debut album) on this opening night of their Fieldworks tour of unorthodox venues.
