"But
Belfast duo The Continuous Battle of Order were the first act to play
on the stage. Two stacks of black speakers stood like sentries at
either side, with an inflatable canopy arching like a grey rainbow
between them. You felt the snap of the snare in your chest. While The
Continuous Battle’s music – an electrified amalgam of improvised jazzy
guitar, metallic riffs and ever-changing drumbeats – was the most
avant-garde on the bill, it was also the most exciting.  During
a climactic three-drummer tattoo the sound bounced around the walled
garden, drawing curious and impressed onlookers to the stage. And
during a skiffle-style hi-hat solo, drummer Craig Kearney played with
such force that a stick snapped and somersaulted into the crowd. He had
a replacement in hand before it landed on the grass."
