  • Doves Concert Attendee Has Swine Flu

    The BBC has reported that the Scottish Government has named a Doves fan as a victim of the ongoing swine flu epidemic.

    Iain Askham of Polmont, near Falkirk, attended the Doves concert at the Edinburgh Picture House on April 23rd, two days after returning from his honeymoon in Mexico.

  • Doves in Scotland Reviews

    Here are some reviews that have popped up for the Glasgow & Edinburgh shows.

    A good slab of lazy journalism for you. Here’s the Scotman’s take on the Glasgow Barras show:

    Inevitably, it came down to the airing of a handful of old favourites to relieve the monotony. The appropriately named Pounding caused euphoria in the crowd, as did Black And White Town, propelled along by its infectious rhythm, shamelessly borrowed from Martha & the Vandellas’ Heatwave.

    The Scotsman have also posted a review of the edinburgh show:

    Flawless renditions of old classics like Here It Comes, There Goes The Fear and The Last Broadcast followed, while much of the new material aired had a Sub Sub-esque groove reminiscent of the days before they fluttered away from dance music into the more guitar-based Doves.

    Note: Doves did not play Here it Comes in Edinburgh. Just goes to show these journos do not attend these shows!

    Here are some reader reviews, also featured in the Scotsman for the Edinburgh show.

  • Edinburgh Picture House

    Doves played the Edinburgh Picture House for the first time tonight. Sounds like the gig went well. Though Jimi, announced Andy wasn’t feeling too good tonight, so the set was slightly shorter than usual. Here It Comes was not played, The Last Broadcast was moved to the main set, leaving just a two song encore Northenden/The Fear. Kudos to Andy for soldiering on. Get well soon!

    Thanks to McGrivvy at doves board for the set info.
