December was cold. Properly cold. The canals froze over, you felt like your fingers would fall off, and English hearts were broken by the French.
In many ways, aside from Christmas, it was a rubbish month. But there was light.
Light came in the form of Nation of Language's brilliant cover of 'Everywhere'. It came in the form of fans chanting Shygirl's lyrics back to her. It came with the squeals of delight when Crywank began their set.
