Yeah were fantastic. 💥
I did not realise they were still going. Saw them in Leicester about 2006. Thought they were great. Still love Weekends And Bleak Days and Turn Tail

They are a great bunch. Seriously. 🩵
Our young un works there. She said that the crowd for you two (which included me) were a very nice and well behaved bunch, unlike some other blokey audiences she could name (but won't cos she's a professional).

Yes. 😳
were you at the match too, Marc?
November 22, 2025 at 11:08 PM

It was an amazing show. They are must see! 😊

It really is. 🥰
Ive only ever seen it from the outside. It looks beautiful.

That's hilarious 😂
