LONDON-based quintet The Feeling last night brought their own brand of sun-filled pop to what the lucky invites-only audience was led to believe was set in the dark depths of the capital.

On the last night of the T-Mobile Street Gigs Carnival at The Vaults, an old cavern in London Bridge station, The Feeling made a welcome return to their hometown after a world tour which has taken them to the cusp of becoming the next British world-wide phenomenon.

But before we get to the music, the setting of the gig cannot be ignored - it was brilliantly orchestrated - and I must say it's good to see funds from a giant mobile phone companies being put to good use.

When guests first arrived - most whom were winners of a T-Mobile competition - were led into what they thought was a creaky old elevator which took them below the famous central London Tube station.

But observant partygoers would have noticed it was actually a simulator, much like a fair-ground ride, - but the eye-popping elevator attended would have distracted most from the fact.

After walking the long red carpet past random circus acts and freaks we were greeted by a fully stocked bar and an entertaining set from a steel drum band who played covers of The Feelings' top hits - one cover even drew a rye smile from singer Dan Gillespie backstage.

And when The Feeling started their own set the rest of crowd was smiling along with the clean-cut, smartly-dressed and charismatic front man.

Highlights were of course the radio friendly "Sewn", "Fill My Little World" and "Never Be Lonely", but a sneak preview of brand new tracks showed this band wasn't going to have trouble with the "difficult" second album.

It's hard to fathom how the group have figured out so early in their career the the sing-along formula. But there was also plenty of rock thrown into the mix as the audience got sweaty in The Vaults.

It was a great way to wrap three wonderful nights at the The Vaults, which had earlier hosted dance legends Basement Jaxx and Mercury Award winner Dizzee Rascal.
