Next is the better known Tiger Army who have a larger and more receptive audience. At the beginning of the set the sound isn't the best with the vocals being very low, the bass drum a bit overbearing and the potentially full double bass sound being a bit disappointing. Later on the vocals appear clearer and the songs seem to gel together better although still without a rich bass sound, normally associated with good rockabilly music. But the crowd seem to be enjoying it and the guitarist and bassist can't hide their own enthusiasm as they frequently scream into the crowd. Maybe it all sounds better live once you know the songs.

As the Dropkick Murphys burst into 'For Boston' the crowd erupts and it seems that the pit extends throughout the entire Garage. Their mix of Irish folk music and punk anthems works incredibly well live and the whole set is very uplifting and energetic. The oversized pit is a bit daunting but, surprisingly, it's full of very polite punks and the atmosphere is great. Every song, whether accordion and penny whistle filled like 'Forever' or rousing punk like 'The Gauntlet', is delivered with a powerful, heartfelt sincerity. This is reflected in the many thanks to the crowd and "without you" comments that the band make. The ladies are invited on stage for 'The Spicy McHaggis Jig' and for the final song everyone is encouraged to join the band onstage- finally, some space in the pit!
