" The set was about an hour and 20 minutes long, and the order is probably wrong because I was going mental a bit too much too notice.
The gig was at the university of Essex and it's the sort of venue you won't see Embrace playing again because it's too small, there were less than a thousand there. However, the sound was quite good and the atmosphere was great as Danny pointed out. There were quite a few T-Shirts on sale and stuff for about 12-15 quid.
The support were called Gomez and they seemed to be on Hut records as well. The first 2 songs were OK but every song sounded the same and although people cheered and stuff at the end of songs, nobody moved and they got a bit of stick from some twats, because frankly they were bollocks."
