Just seen one of my favourite band's of the 80's and 90's Deacon Blue.
They have just released a new album, and the concert was as good as any I have seen them do in the past. They are a live band that seem to get better with age
Love Deacon Blue. Done some top songs over the years. I'm going to see Status Quo next Saturday supported by REO Speed wagon followed by seeing The Darkness on the Sunday.
RHCP in Manchester next Thursday. I've been a fan for longer than I care to remember and seen them several times over the years. I'm not a huge fan of the newer material, but they do put on a good show - and from what I've read, they're delving deep into the back catalogue, so something for everyone; should be a good night!
Saw Clutch at Manchester Academy just before Christmas. Excellent. Can't fault 'em, the place was rocking, great vibe and atmosphere. One of the better live bands I've seen.
One very minor niggle would be the sound, although mostly spot on, the engineer seemed to be struggling to get his levels right. Not unusal for the Academy to be fair.
