Prior to the release of the single, Tim Jonze attended the In the City Music Festival in October 2007 and brought several copies of the forthcoming single along with a view to previewing it. According to Tim, he played the single after a keynote speech at a very well attended convention at the festival. The impact of the song was immediate with several label heads making enquiries about the song (and the artist) there and then. One of the most immediate consequences of the buzz generated at “In The City” was Ian Brown asking Glasvegas to support him on several dates in late October 2007. Prior to these support dates Glasvegas announced their intention to play two live shows in Glasgow on consecutive nights (Saturday and Sunday; 13 and 14 October 2007 at the now defunct Barfly, Glasgow). NME chose to review Glasvegas for the very first time in their Radar section and review the forthcoming single ” Daddy’s Gone / Flowers & Football Tops ” which was chosen as the single of the week.
