Performing a set in the Peace Gardens, Sheffield on Sunday 29th September 2013, after the presentations for the Great Yorkshire Run had taken place.
Many of the old favourites were heard such as their rendition of Pulp's "Common People" and newer tracks like "Pork Pie" (based on Blur's "Park Life") wowed the crowds.

Stephen Lee - the verdict
Snooker player Stephen Lee, 38, of Trowbridge, Wiltshire has been banned for 12 years after being found guilty of seven match-fixing charges and has also been told to pay £40,000 costs.
The former world number five cannot play in any game sanctioned by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA). He denied the allegations, which included a match at the World Snooker Championship in 2009, and intends to appeal.
Snooker's governing body says it is " the worst case of corruption" it has ever seen, and the longest ban imposed on a player by the organisation. "The WPBSA has a zero tolerance approach to match fixing and this is further evidence of our uncompromising approach to dealing with such issues," said a spokesman.
The ban is calculated from 12 October 2012, when an interim suspension was imposed, and means Lee will not be able to compete as a professional snooker player before 12 October 2024, the date of his 50th birthday.

Sainsbury's School Games 2013
The Sainsbury's 2013 School Games is a multi-sport event that took place from 12-15 September 2013 in Sheffield.
Twelve sports were held across eight venues in the city and after 3 1/2 days I have racked up 2026 pictures on my hard-drive.
About 1,600 of the nation's finest young sports stars competed in:Fencing, Rugby Sevens, Gymnastics, Hockey, Badminton, Athletics, Cycling, Judo, Swimming, Table Tennis, Volleyball and Wheelchair Basketball.
In addition, approximately 700 coaches, support staff and volunteers gave so much to make the event a roaring success.
In a superb performance on the last day of athletics ever to be held at the Don Valley Stadium, Morgan Lake (Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow) cleared 1.82m in the Women's High Jump in very blustery conditions to break Katarina Johnson-Thompson's 2008 record of 1.78m
