Manchester VS Cancer @ the M.E.N. March 2007

There was so much that was great about this gig: Echo and the Bunnymen were amazing -particularly Ian's voice - and when Hooky joined them onstage to do a New Order cover, I was bowled over. Paul Weller singing A Town Called Malice with the Charlatans was stunning but the Charlatans' own set was a real pleaser too - they played hit after hit. Ian Brown really connected with a lot of people, not with me unfortunately, but Noel Gallagher pulled me right back into the realms of awe. He really does know how to sing a song and came across as a very humble man. This event seems to be going from strength to strength and I can't wait to see who gets involved next year.
