Its been 4 months since MIRMIS's last gig. Why so long is unknown. The Grey Horse gig was a total success, so after the highs come the lows. This was a bit lackluster by the boys. Not too sure where it went flat, but the energy wasn't there. Maybe it was a disappointing audience, maybe it was the poor weather. The set had changed from previous gigs to include more numbers and things were swapped around a bit. A new opener was present, the cover of the Deep Purple classic "Burn" which was good but didn't achieve the energy that the band wanted. 2 other new songs were debuted - "Why are you waiting" ,a Kyriakides penned number with odd timing and odd sounds, it did show MIRMIS in a new light rather than sticking to traditional rockers, they are will to experiment and "Ride the Wave" a Loizou penned classic which wouldn't look out of place with the AOR rockers that were so fashionable and successful a few years back. Some of the older numbers still proved as strong as ever, especially Tales of the Unexpected which built up to a wall of sound climax, Queen of King, which provided as usual the most emotional performance of the night and Catch That Running Train, which again confound some critics showing that MIRMIS can be commercial as they want to be and why they haven't been signed up on the strength of that number is confusing!  Some songs had been dropped from the previous gig, notably "Got No Money", the first song the band ever performed. Its evident from this performance that the band are not willing to stand still. They want to progress, but which way they progress is anyone's guess, I wonder if the band are sure.
