Well he knocked that one out of the park , a shaky start with stranger losing words mumbling and i did fear the worse he talks after the song he doesn’t sound right not slurred bends down and picks up a bottle of water both me and kendal reckon its vodka , plays a few new ones from the new forth coming album New Brighton Rock which will be out in 10years time if you’re lucky , then the lad on trumpet appears , Reach its worth the ticket price alone the songs got me emotional , Als vacation , someones knocking a song from Zilch this is unheard of not heard anything from that album live in over 30 years a real treat , neighbours , some of them B sides from the HMS fable era which are class , a few more new ones they sound fragile lyrically technical like he’s having trouble getting all the words out in such a short space of time , he’s with the youngest band I’ve ever seen him play with this red elastic band project just how many musicians from liverpool know how to play shack/strands songs has he put an advert in the Echo the marcelo bielsa of music nurturing his new young band with his songwriting and playing ability tight is not the word .
Probably one of the best times I’ve seen him live maybe he’s nervous at the start of a gig , but has time wore on he fucking nailed it , it was sold out come on its mick head in Leeds all the usual suspects were there and fair play to the management bouncers at the brudenell when Mugsie turned up without a ticket , took one look at us lot and said you lot are here all the time get yourself in , it was just a great night .
