This will come far too late for just about everyone.
they
were ace in Cardiff last night. Pity the audience was gash. The furthest people forward were about 6 feet in front of the stage the whole night, it must really have put them off.
Leicester
they were on early so i only got to see 4 songs. What i saw was disappointing anyway
everyone can have a bad night
.
Was there
anyone at the Leicester gig? Usually no-one turns up to Leicester gigs. Factoid!
Anyway, looking forward to hearing this!!
Odd crowd when I saw them in Brighton
They were a tiny bit flat I felt and the crowd was a bit middle-aged.
The Leicester line-up sounds pretty good.
