Present Tense in London?

Hi guys

Just a little request for this gem on Saturday. No expectations of anything but can’t hurt asking! Never heard this live and I don’t think it’s been played in the UK since Leeds.

it’s my favourite song bar none and I think the message is as relevant today as ever. It’s not a rare song by any means and I realise it won’t be top of the pile of many fan’s requests, but it’s one they do pull out fairly often and every live version of this song I’ve heard gives me goosebumps. 

So…if the band fancies it on Saturday, I’d be over the moon!

Hope everyone has a great night

cheers 👍🏼

    Very unlikely now after being played in Manchester, but, in reality, hope Ed is healthy.
