But let's rewind momentarily and go back a little earlier in the day. One of the defining features of the week has been King Keaveny's gear chat where he presses band members on what the various pedals and knobs do. Ultimately it may not be *that* enlightening but it's certainly very very entertaining. In this one guitar pedals are compared to craft beers while Lauren gets all fan girl about the Fender Rhodes.

With four Maida Vale sessions already under their belt this was a confident return for the Revsters

There were tears...

...Unadulterated joy...

...And for some things no words are needed.

You can replay Jonathan and Grasshopper's pre-set interview with Lauren.
