TWO titans of Scottish rock took to the main stage of Connect Festival back-to-back on Friday night.
It was a drizzly overcast evening but that didn’t stop a sizeable crowd gathering at the Royal Highland Centre near Edinburgh Airport.
They rattled off some fan favourites. No You Girls got damp bodies moving, as did Michael from their eponymous debut album in 2004. It was immediately obvious several of that name are present in the crowd as Kapranos belted out the line ‘so come and dance with me Michael’. There’s an endearing and nostalgic feeling when Franz Ferdinand plays – so embedded are they in Scottish indie rock history.
Lead singer Bobby Gillespie even wore a suit draped in the album cover artwork, joined by the band and a 5-piece choir that provided the choral backing vocals dotted throughout the album.
