Jonquil’s rise amongst Oxford’s songwriting academy has been proven. They are the darlings of their hometown and rightfully so. Hootie’s bass replaces Sam Scott’s trumpet admirably; the band’s full sound remains intact. From the vocal march of ‘Lions’ to the existential proverb of ‘Whistle Low’, Jonquil introduce themselves to the London’s slightly younger demographic. A smattering of the band’s fanbase sing along, with ‘Babe, So Why Now No?’ a standout tonight, with the line: ‘and you’ll get the last word/even if it’s random sounds/woah oh-oh’ making a particular impression.

The Soho crowd swarms in part way through Jonquil in time for White Heat’s headliners and Sheffield darlings, Slow Club. The Moshi Moshi endorsed Charles and Becky, attempt to emote gaiety through harmonic coo coo’s and the slap-bang haberdashery of antique chair percussion. The pairing truly have their art honed and indiefected. For the charismatic pairing, all signs point to ‘NOW’. Jonquil are anything but; steeped in scholarly know-how and bludgeoned accordion parps, understated apparel and a quiet albeit sociable demeanour. Both are convincing, a night where music triumphs on the small scale. The greatest scale there is.
