Seen them before but always worth a watch and listen.

I went to PSB's BBC Prom special to mark 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11 at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a great night.

Seen them a few times and going again in Nov for the new album, can't wait.

Go! / The Other Side are a great 10 minutes to get people hooked into the Apollo program

Same here, got a few of their nice posters as well. Saw them at home in Wales during their Every Valley tour and some of the people in the films were in the audience.

Fantastic Band! Seen them live a few times, lots of humour, great atmosphere. "Spitfire" holds a huge amount of sentimental value for me, memories of a very, very special weekend :-)

Was that at Bangor uni? If so I was there too, great gig.

No, Pontardawe up the Swansea valley. PSB used the miners library in Swansea for a lot of their research and the librarians were in the audience with a few ex miners.
I think they are better live than just listening to their albums, the video part of it really enhances the song.

As mentioned, brilliant band and very unique with their musical style.
Well worth seeing live and are touring again this autumn.

Brilliant musicians, a bit awkward on the performance front maybe!
I saw them at the Apollo 50 anniversary concert at Goonhilly satellite earth station, where signals from the Apollo 11 lunar landing were received for BBC TV and radio transmission. It was a brilliant night to hear the entire album content live. A nice bright pass of the ISS added a nice modern touch to the set. They also played Spitfire, of course and I think PSB Theme and White Star Liner. Excellent band, hopefully see them again this year.
