Live at the Marquee: Bell X1

IT could be said Bell X1 live are like Velcro. In that you just want to storm the stage and stick yourself quite forcefully to leadman Paul Noonan.

He took to the stage in the not-quite sold out Marquee in Cork last night at bang on 9.30, bowed courteously to the crowd and kicked off an overall compelling performance with Hey Anna Lena.

They kept fans happy with some brilliant showmanship and perfect execution of their happy, snazzy distinctive, indie pop, belting out the best of the band’s back catalogue like The Great Defector, Bad Skin Day and My First Born For A Song, with some tracks from the new album Bloodless Coup thrown in for good measure.
