Midway through their set, Piri and Tommy perform a song called Silver Lining. It features vocalist Sophie “Piri” McBurnie pondering: “How did we get this far?” – which is not an unreasonable question. The duo released their debut single 18 months ago: since then, their career has encompassed TikTok ubiquity, co-signs from Charli XCX and Pink Pantheress – the latter the figurehead of vogue for bedroom pop into which Piri and Tommy neatly fit – and a major-label deal. Tonight’s venue isn’t huge, but it’s sold out, as is every other date on their current tour: that the bar is virtually deserted tells you something about the average age of the audience.
