Cherry Ghost @ The Loft, Cambridge, March 2007

Cherry Ghost hail from Manchester and you could therefore believe that this lot will have a certain sound. But, drop that assumption. Their sound is mesmeric, layered, melodic and extremely accomplished; along the lines of Elbow I think. It certainly wasn't a normal pub gig because I felt like I was in the presence of some extremely talented musicians! I was over-awed by how good they sounded in such a small space and the tunes floated and pounded in equal measure. A tip top gig.
