Some of us may dimly recall seeing an up and coming beat combo named Nirvana supporting Sub Pop no marks Tad, or Oasis being second on the bill to the little-remembered Whiteout. But the members of the Maccabees have trumped these by letting slip about the time when they were supported by fellow South Londoner Adele.

And this didn’t happen back in the dim and distant past, but in a Battersea pub as recently as March 2020, just as the lights were going out, pre Covid.
