Phew! Jarv's been turning out covers by the likes of David Bowie and Prince lately, but tonight he excelled himself by playing TWO - Talking Heads' 'Heaven' was lovely, but he eclipsed that by closing his set with a coruscating version of the Black Sabbath metal classic 'Paranoid'.

On top of a set which consisted of highlights from his solo album, he sent the hardcore fans home happy. Ha, the 'common people' didn't need their ultimate anthem...the 'Ozztoria' was rocking anyway.
