"The first thing to say is that this band should be damn proud of themselves to be able to sound and look so much like one of the greatest bands this country has ever produced, with front man Graham looking just as beautiful as Morrissey, with the trademark quiff and glasses, complete with loose shirt and long beads (and of course a bunch of flowers). He even aired the same charming confidence during the songs and during the small chats to the audience, adding that little extra authenticity to the night.

The band opened with early classics, including This Charming Man which was executed brilliantly, moving onto more obscure songs, such as Nowhere Fast, Reel Around The Fountain and London, making the night even more memorable as these songs aren?t recognised as much as they should be. Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others was easily the best sounding song they played, and it was impressive how close to the original they made it sound. My personal favourite was Panic; it?s a short, snappy and utterly superb song, and The Smyths stuck to these criteria perfectly. Plus it's always elevating to hear a room full of Smiths fans singing "Hang the DJ".

The encore comprised of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, in which the audience was given the spotlight for a few moments, singing the line "there is a light and it never goes out" a few times, which was quite uplifting, and then Bigmouth Strikes Again, which was an amazing way to end. Each chord and every beat sounded perfect, and in fact it is quite difficult to find any flaws in the whole performance. I eagerly await their return to Mr Kyps."
