The View play Camden Crawl

...Back at the Roundhouse, The View performed a typically swaggering set that took in songs from their two albums. The Scots drew a large crowd to the venue, with many screaming along to the words of the likes of '5Rebbeccas' and 'Wasted Little DJ's', both of which were deployed by the band early on in the set.

Mid-way through the gig, The View were joined by their string section – jokingly named Dirty Pretty Strings – for an acoustic take of 'Distant Doubloon'.

The band stoked the atmosphere even more by playing fan favourites such as 'Face For The Radio' and 'Superstar Tradesman', both of which drew an impassioned response from fans.
