..this looks like your collapsing pefrormance going on....who knows where...
The guy sitting in front of the guitarist seems really into it. The spirit of Pip Pyle lives inside him !

That's ace. Is "without any rehearsal" literally true? Extraordinary if so.
What a song to pick to play. I can't imagine four random musicians getting up in front of a crowd, discussing possible songs and the one they all agree on is an obscure National Health song.
You just know that girl won the gold medal at some Rachmaninoff competition. When she was like 8 years old.
And I love the one burly dude sitting next to the guitar player totally rocking out. Oh, and the disco ball lighting was a nice touch.
But yeah, THIS is why bands give the Japanese an extra bonus track on all their albums.
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
Wow, that was nice. All devoted National Health fans. You can't just pull that sort of stuff out of your ...well wherever, rehearsed or not.

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.

"Amateur musicians" merely means nobody is paying them to play tunes like that. "Without rehearsal" I don't believe either -- only the keyboardist had sheet music, and she didn't appear to be reading it.
Keyboardist/Bartender --- sounds great. Crazy music to play on any level.
Kudos for the selection, but some of it was butchered pretty badly. It only made me want to listen to the real thing... or even Dave Stewart's 1990 drum machine version that he called "The Apocalypso." The keyboard player did a good job though.
Looks like it's taking place in some mutant universe that doesn't really exist. What's with all the multi-necked guitars and vintage keys? That's a copy of Renaissance's Sheherazade on the wall. Hippest bar I ever saw.
