The Levellers, Gig Review. Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton.

Originally published by The Birmingham Mail. May 2009.

Opening the night with Life Less Ordinary and the Battle of Beanfield, The Levellers played a set full of tunes to a Wulfrun Hall that was almost bursting with fans.

Main vocalist and guitarist Mark Chadwick along with Stephen Boakes on didgeridoo and Jeremy Cunningham on bass, seem to encapsulate all that is good within the band.

It was hard to see which tracks they would have to leave out of their huge back catalogue but those receiving an airing included Beautiful Day and the excellent Death Loves Youth, Dirty Davey and the Cholera Well.

They finished with encores of World Freak Show, Come On and the fantastic Liberty Song.
