Walking Barefoot just this moment got back from seeing Ash at Nottingham Rock City. The band played ‘Princess Six’ live for the first time as well as old classics ‘Sometimes and ‘Folksong’ which Tim introduced as ‘one of his favourite songs’. The band were plagued with a few technical problems most notably at the end of ‘Orpheus’ when Tim’s guitar cut out but Rick was on hand to fill the gap with some drum solo’s which gained wide spread applause. The band were in good spirits and played on regardless of the technical problems. Were gonna get some sleep now, we’ll update this post tomorrow with more details. The band played:

Ash played a headline set to a rammed NME/Radio 1 Stage at the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival on Friday night (August 24). Ash delighted a packed crowd with a series of greatest hits and a spattering of songs from their recent and last, album, ‘Twilight Of The Innocents’.
Taking the stage at 22:30 GMT, the band induced a mass singalong to ‘Burn Baby Burn’, during which the band cut out their instruments half-way through, allowing the crowd to sing the chorus back to them in unison.
The atmosphere of collectiveness continued as the opening notes of ‘A Life Less Ordinary’ were recognised by the audience, prompting spontaneous cheers and screams throughout the tent.
After leading his band through a frenetic ‘Kung Fu’, Wheeler asked the crowd, ‘So, you’re not too bothered about seeing Razorlight, then?’, referring to the headline act on the other side of the festival site playing at the same time as Ash. Most of the crowd booed as Johnny Borrell’s band were mentioned.
A rapturously-received ‘Twilight Of The Innocents’ marked the end of the band’s scheduled set, but after a brief interval they returned to the stage to play their first ever single, ‘Jack Names The Planets’ to close their headline set, leaving most of the crowd clapping and cheering.
The set list ran as follows:
Lose Control
Burn Baby Burn
You Can’t Have It All
Orpheus
A Life Less Ordinary
Renegade Cavalcade
End Of The World
Kung Fu
Blacklisted
Oh Yeah
Girl From Mars
Twilight Of The Innocents
Jack Names The Planets
