manchester,quite a few times.the best was at move at old trafford cricket ground .they played an accoustic set to about 200 people.
you really have to try and get tickets.
they supported snow patrol as well and were far better in my opinion

Read this review which agrees with you about Snow Patrol!

it was dh who was the fan.he took me to one of their gigs and i was hooked.grace under pressure is a classic.haven't had chance to listen to the new album more than a couple of times but dh has been blown away by it.
do you have their other albums?

mirrorball,it's his haunting voice that sends shivers down my spine.

this is still my favourite
dh is such a huge fan his name is in the list at the back of cast of thousands as being in the crowd at the end of this

I realise that I am embarrassingly late to this particular party , but I have just been given The Seldom Seen Kid for my birthday.

Summer evening, DD's in bed, DH at work, and I am relaxing to this with a drink - it's quite, quite perfect.
