Blur performed their first reunion show this weekend - in the goods shed at the East Anglian Railway Museum.

The Essex venue was the site of the group's first show in 1988, and they took to the tiny stage once again on Saturday (13 June) in front of  a crowd of 150 fans.

During the 130-minute, 28-song set, the group powered through hits including 'Girls And Boys', 'Beetlebum', 'Coffee And TV', 'Parklife', 'Charming Man' and 'Song 2', before rounding off with 1995 single 'The Universal'.

Frontman Damon Albarn leapt into the crowd at one point, while Alex James "[did] his best to steal some of the limelight, standing on his monitor speakers and shaking his floppy fringe, with a cigarette balanced between his lips", reports the BBC.

The four-piece are now due to perform at the Glastonbury (24-28 June) and T In The Park (10-12 July) festivals, as well as dates in Wolverhampton (24 June), Newcastle (25 June), Manchester (26 June) and London's Hyde Park (2-3 July).
