The Hoosiers at the Civic

The cheering started the moment the music started and didn't stop until the lights came back on at the end of night.

Screaming teenagers flanked by their equally enthusiastic parents packed into the Civic Hall for a lesson in how concerts should be.

The quirky Hoosiers had asked the crowds to don fancy dress for the night.

And the fans didn't disappoint, transforming the hall with a sea of fairy costumes, superhero masks and Star Trek characters.

One duo even pulled out the blue paint to arrive as Smurfs, receiving a special mention from the band's lead singer Irwin Sparkes who commended the effort put in by the city's fans to have fun.

Following the number one success of their debut album The Trick To Life, The Hoosiers have had a busy few months keeping the singles charts alight with a string of catchy classics including Goodbye Mr A and Cops and Robbers.

And their enthusiasm at being at the top of their game certainly showed as they wowed the crowd with note-perfect performances and the ability to get the audience involved. The band clearly appreciate the fans who have put them where they are today and regularly stopped to chat.

Some lucky fans even got the chance to take home a souvenir of the night when the band threw plectrums and towels into the audience.

The crowds screamed, clapped and stamped their feet when the three-piece band, accompanied by a keyboard player and brass duo on the night, left the stage for the first time.

And they raised the volume even louder when they returned to end the night with a storming version of Worried About Ray.
