Couple of thoughts from BBC Wales

Hey chaps.
Sorry the livechat was so hectic. Was under the impression things would be pre-moderated but we had 6500+ people on it, so I think the Radio 2 producer was letting it run swiftly.
I found it v hard to keep up and to interact as much as I wanted.
Aside from that, what a gig.
James

Live chat was great fun James, hope the spam didn't go down too badly at HQ. Thanks for doing that!

Problem with the Live chat was too many conversations at once! 6500+ people. No wonder it ran away with itself.

It was great fun anyway - I was a bit annoyed I'd told FD people that it would be calm haha! Anyway, great to see Suicide Alley trending. I'm bloody shattered now though - trying to keep up with that was a nightmare.

I couldn't participate the livechat as much as I wanted because my netbook has some problems. I've been telling him he should calm down but he didn't want to listen to me.

wonderful gig but very short. many people on the forum would like them to play whole night long (including me. or not - just allow Nicky playing his own set. I can be the only person in the audience. deal?)

James, could you tell everyone at the BBC how well this went down with Manics fans? Hey, you brought down FD and got Blackwood and Suicide Alley trending on Twitter!

It would be great if you could do it again next year (and make sure that I get a ticket next time )

Would be great if this gig could go up on Iplayer.

I'd like to enjoy this one again.
