Crowded House Gig Review - Manchester

And why not? It's amazing how concerts can really make the memories flood back. But last night me and Stevo went to see Crowded House as Laura was ill.

After setting the Sat Nav stupidly to go the "shortest route" from his place, instead of the quickest. We finally got there to see the last ten minutes of the warm-up act. I'm glad we didn't get there any earlier as it was, er "different".

But tracks like "Weather With You", "Don't Dream It's Over", "Not the Girl You Think You Are" and "It's Only Natural" brought me back to those halcyon days of living with Rufus and some Kiwi's and Aussies in London playing cricket in the garden and hitting the Fosters in the evening. During those few months I did absolutely chuff all work! :-)

But back to the music. The M.E.N. wasn't full to capacity and wasn't as bumping as Depeche Mode were last year, but it was a fantastically, intimate atmosphere. And well worth going - they've got dates left in Glasgow, Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bournemouth, Brighton, Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall. You can get tickets from Ticketmaster.
