Saw Skunk Anansie last friday night at Warehouse Manchester. Not too keen on the venue too big and cold/drafty but a totally brilliant gig. Skin on top form, would recommend .

Re: Gap between gigs.

As for gaps between seeing bands I saw the Rezillos in 1978-I think at Lancaster Uni and then in 2018 at Manc Academy. Suprised I survived neve...

Re: Worst band you have seen live and why?

Was dragged to see Magnam back in about 2010 by the "good lady" at 53 Degrees in Preston. Total dross-couldn't sing, couldn't play, couldn't remember the words and couldn't care less. With hindsight playing Preston was an indication of how the night was going to be.....!!
