I've actually spent more time in Swindon over the past month, either promoting shows, engineering, being at gigs or what ever, than I ever have in my past 28 years of existence.
Just before the show he announced he's been invited to perform at SXSW and that he has a 3 week tour in May across the UK AND he is doing loads of Festivals in 2012, of which he has only announced two of these - one in Leeds and 2000 Trees.
Exciting times for the wee lad(s)
His set was 50/50 old and new material, with the new stuff slotting in perfectly again the old stuff, so pretty much taking up where he left off. Fantastic.
