Ciara Purton recalls her experience of seeing The Last Dinner Party in concert. Image: Megan Crombie You wouldn’t think that when God sends down his angels, they would arrive in the form of an indie rock band and their killer opening act, but this is what I found to be true when I went to see The Last Dinner Party in concert.
