Not even cold cycling home after this one, I got a nice pub hotel in Castlefield, OK at 35 quid for a night, ace beer. The Ox on Liverpool Road.
A were pretty awesome. I was so worried, that having just got into their Monkey Kong album, the crowd wouldn't be into it, but we even had a little pit going for some songs. Really pleased to have seen them now that I know their stuff.
Wildhearts were fairly business as usual, Ginger seemed very happy indeed. Fairly interesting setlist, with Red light/Green light, Geordie in Wonderland, Nothing ever Changes but the Shoes, Caprice (bit sort of loud for my ears at that point in the set, I had to make myself some earplugs for the end of the gig from a napkin. Told us they were playing two more, played Getting It and then left the stage, and had the roadies turn off the equipment even. Nobody really bought it, althought the roadie was quite keen to gesticulate what he thought of such games from Ginger... I Wanna Go finished it, and since everyone was real clear on that, we didn't even have to endure 20 mins worth of singing "don't worry 'bout me..."
Decent crowd, good night out. Pleased I came after the shitty journey I had up.
