Swansea gig got a review in the local paper:
IF ever there was an award for passion and grit, then Sorry and the Sinatras would win it, hands down.
The four-piece punk’n’rollers, the brainchild of The Wildhearts’ bassist Scott Sorry, pulled into Swansea on their debut UK tour — and found just 30 people turning up to watch.
The lack of bodies seemed to knock support act Portraits off their stride, who punctuated a great performance with awkward silences between songs.
But for SATS, they jumped onstage and played as if their lives, and their dinners, depended on it.
“Come on, come closer — let’s make this a party,” frontman Sorry invited the crowd.
And the minute songs like Riverside, Burns City Burns and Borrowed Time were fired up, the party soon began.
Plenty of bands, from pub-rockers to stadium fillers, would do no wrong in taking a leaf out of SATS’ book.
And looking on the flip-side, this was not a gig that few turned up to see — it was one which many missed out on.
