WHEY! First review,everyone's meeting up in town this dinner,but I've got some clearing up to do at home,sorry folks.
Gig was great,though I was sorry to miss FARM and The CARPETS.Got in while THE VIEW were on.Not really a fan of FUN LOVING CRIMINALS,but liked THE FRATELLIS and THE ENEMY. Stars were HAPPY MONDAYS sounded great,great banter between Shaun(sporting a mohican) and Bez, "Gerroff me yer daft cnut".
My misgiving of this gig was there wasn't the collaborations which had made the previous gigs so special. But at Nth hour, lo and behold,for the finale BADLY DRAWN BOY on vocals,joined by HOOKY,POTTSY,ANDY ROURKE,DENISE JOHNSON (ACR) and 2 others I didn't recognise.On the big screens a big tribute to Tony wilson.
Great versions of PLEASE PLEASE LET ME GET WHAT I WANT, LWTUA and Lennon's INSTANT KARMA.
Where were you VIKINGS? Yer daft buggers £40 on a night out in KRO BAR! Never mind,a big hello to everyone who was out,in MEN Julie and Rosie,Greg,Dave Clark,Burt,Midnight Blue; and everyone else in Piccadilly, Tim,Shug,Jemmie,Col,Bonz,Liam,Jert,Minxie,Banshee,Sandra,Nick King,Al,Baldrick,Lord & Lady NUTS and anyone I missed sorry!
