The duo followed up the cover with a three-song run of old material to close out the main part of the gig with ‘Standing Next To Me’, ‘Meeting Place’ and ‘In My Room’ arriving in quick succession before they left the stage.

The pair closed the encore with a ‘The Dream Synopsis’ and a cover of David Bowie’ ‘Moonage Daydream’. The Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane collaboration ‘505’ from 2007 album ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ was originally teased, but was duly replaced with a tribute to the late singer, which saw Turner take lead vocals with ease. The cover was premiered at Glastonbury Festival last month and had become a set closer ever since in the following shows.
