Daygone then exploded onto the stage, injecting a welcome dose of hard rock / metal into proceedings. They are a four-piece band, with only Ewan Gurr (drummer) attending Harris and are obviously talented musicians in their own right, but the heavy style of music they play disguises this fact. Their two mellower songs showcased their talent more effectively and they should perhaps develop along these lines if they want to go far and be distinguished from all the other talentless bands that play harsh sounding, grunt-metal that DayGone bizarrely seem to favour playing.

Despite seeming like one of the more mature bands playing, Daygone's set ran around 15 minutes over their allotted time; it  meant that we had endure slightly less of the next band on but if they had stuck to their schedule then the night's abrupt ending would have not cut as much, if anything at all, off the final bands set. It was also disappointing that Daygone's lead guitarist, probably the most talented musician that took the stage that evening, did not play his trademark Eddie Van Halen meets Joe Satriani style Instrumental and the reason for this is not clear, especially as he debuted a new one at their headline gig the week previously.

Band Rating: 8/10
Best Song: Daygone - Too Late
