CROWD REACTION: Unfortunately for Jape, not many have hot footed it down to Custom House Square early, and the first band on at Belsonic play to a mere ragtag smattering of people. Of those people, there did seem to be a few Jape fans in attendance (mostly Dubs, judging by the accents). Most folks, whether fans or not, seemed to react quite favourably to Richie Egan's electronica-folk-indie tunes, and Egan's slightly daft charm and enthusiasm were dampened neither by the weather nor the low attendance. STANDOUT MOMENT: Jape have a number of really good, infectious, delightful little songs. So delightful, in fact, that if there's any justice they'll be a lot bigger next time we see them in this neck of the woods. 'I Was A Man', 'Phil Lynott' (despite some "technical difficulties") and their best known work 'Floating' were stand-out tracks of the set, by far.
