Tickets for Sleeper’s Friday night show at Bedford Esquires sold out within hours as those who were there first time around and younger heads alike snapped up an opportunity to see the recently reformed Britpop act.
And it’s fair to say that the band put on a show in keeping with the hype. Led by the immensely talented and still drop dead gorgeous Louise Wener they rattled through classic songs from all 3 of their albums from the 90s.
Their cover of Blondie’s Atomic (as heard in the iconic Trainspotting soundtrack) and set closer Sale of the Century were personal highlights as Wener has the crowd wrapped round her little finger throughout.
It remains to see whether Sleeper will become the latest in a long line of nineties reformers to go the whole hog and release new music but on this sort of form and judging by the raucous reaction from the crowd they could get away with just playing their hits for a good while longer.
