Really enjoyed that setlist. So great to hear 'Elvis Impersonator' live. Really glad 'Tsunami' and 'Revol' have survived from the NT shows.

AND NICKY SANG!

Hawley was brilliant. Genuinely gobsmacked when he walked on stage, even though I already expected him to be there. His voice is SO powerful live.

GAAAAAAAHNICKYSANGNICKYSANGNICKYSANG!

Nicky singing 'As Holy As The Soil' was beautiful, as were the couple of verses of 'Golden Platitudes' he gave us as an intro, and his stories about Richey seemed to have everybody around me in tears.

Really fantastic gig. So thrilled to see them again. Can't wait for Dublin.
Oh my god that sounds amazing.


Does anyone have pictures of the merch? That hoody sounds nice.

Great gig, great night and great people. Body is still aching. First time standing at a Manics gig since one of the Roundhouse dates in 2009 (and even then I didn't complete the full gig due a nasty flu).

Always great to see my friends and meet new people amongst others! Very nice meeting NasalScarecrow, Allisvanity, Sculptureofabloke and sofarsideways for the first time.

Enjoyed the gig immensely, even though they should have played 30 Year War, but a vote by Nicky was always going to end in one way despite my pleading!

Post gig activities with Sim and Sandrine were also amazing

i know. The prices are stupid. Is it really thin? That's my main complaint of merch these days. I'm prepared to be fleeced somewhat if the quality is good but some of my older T-shirts are much better quality.

It is a little thin, unfortunately. The print quality is good but it seems they decided to save costs by using an inferior quality t-shirt.
