I originally missed out a review for this date, and I remember why now - I'd done a brief review for the official site, this was around the time of the new look site, and they had the new "post your own review" section, so I went for that.  This is what I wrote there - very brief, really, no details as such, but thought I would post it here for you anyway.

The day was an event in itself, a reunion of fans, plenty of catching up to be done. We were all hungry to see the boys after such a long time off the road. Support were BellX1, Mundy and Transformers - all did a great job of keeping us warm in the cold breeze, but we were there for one band, and one band alone. Like Mark from Stereobase said, if there had been a roof on the venue, it would have been raised off and blown away to the rapturous welcome back that Stereophonics received. It was friendly, fun and relaxed. We were treated with long lost friends like Bartender and Traffic, aswell as jaw-dropping new songs like Since I Told You It's Over (a real tearjerker!) and Help Me(She's Out Of Her Mind), which ended the night on an ecstatic high! Blinding!"
