Review please!
I made the trip to Leeds. They were fantastic. Happy to finally see a headline gig, having previously caught one support slot (Shepherd's Bush) and one festival (Reading).
Anyone attending the South Shields gig would have seen the debut of new bassist Pete, although Steve returned for his final appearance at the Leeds gig. From Manchester on, Pete (who posts on here occasionally) is in the hot seat. I met him in Leeds and he's a top bloke.
There was a new song in the set which sounded great, and Little Elvis doing "Suspicious MInds" with the band in the encore. What more could you ask for?
And on a personal note, I had a curry in the Bengal Brasserie (as featured in the
Cribs video) and it's every bit as good as they said it is. And had a nice chat with the proprietor (also in the video) but couldn't get him to sing. Shame.[/url]
