REVIEW: The Enemy at the Wedgewood Rooms

But this was no wake but a huge celebration with a band on fire and partisan crowd.

Every song a singalong, from the opening ‘Had Enough’ (clearly not) to lead singer Tom Clarke asking the crowd: ‘do you want some ‘Aggro’ (clearly yes) – the band certainly indulge their audience by announcing they will play the whole of the first album in full.

Can you imagine The Clash doing tha – which for some people it felt like?

Cries of ‘Blue Army’ and ‘Play Up Pompey’ from the now delirious crowd greet the inevitable final song ‘ Last Goodbye’.

Needless to say from this ace performance I suggest it won’t be too long to the reunion tour.
