Last night I went up to La Laguna University for the City Centre FREE concert which had Echo and the Bunnymen headlining.  Support band ‘The Mistake’ warmed up an audience of around 3,000 already sweating from the 30 plus degrees of calima-induced night air.Earlier this month the band’s official website had referred to the upcoming venue under the headline ‘Echo and the Sunnymen’ which had made those of us familiar with La Laguna’s normally ‘fresh’ April temperatures smile. And obviously Ian McCulloch had been given the tip off because he took to the stage in a T shirt, a hoodie and a coat.
But last night our knowing smiles melted into the night as La Laguna turned up the heat.
Despite the electric fan placed at his feet, throughout a set which included some new songs as well as trademark favourites like “Killing Moon” and “Lips like Sugar”, Ian McCulloch never even removed his coat and still managed to look cool throughout. Now that’s class.
