FLOPPY of fringe and large of chorus, here come The Xcerts: a band

never afraid of a good power chord.

Demands for crowd-surfing – much to the delight of the burly bouncers down front - are duly met as each song is cheered on and sung along with in full-throated joy.

BBC Intro is, size-wise, the smallest stage at T; but from this band's

attitude and the response they pull, you could just as easily imagine

them up on the main stage.

As the set finishes, singer Murray Macleod leaps into the arms of his

adoring fans and manages to crowd-surf while still playing the guitar.

This is no mean feat, and for that alone, we must show some respect.
