I've put some short clips on my Facebook page, and will stick them on YouTube when I have time.

It's odd because they're not a punk band but I do agree the vibe was better at the Wintergardens. Sound quality was definitely superior too. Despite the fact that I had flu I enjoyed the gig more than the recent Manchester one, but like you still had a great time.

The last time he saw them was Blackpool in 2009, which, (it has to be said), was a spectacularly good show, (even though I was enormously jetlagged at the time after just returning from my Earthwatch assignment in NWT Canada). That show had a fantastic atmosphere, and a lively crowd throughout.

> Rob loves KJ, but in comparison to Blackpool, thought the Manchester show was somewhat lacking, and give those expectations, was a little disappointed... Although I had a great time, I have to say I’m inclined to agree - maybe because it was between Notts & London, the band didn’t seem 100% switched on, and perhaps because it was a school night the crowd were definitely somewhat subdued. Really slow getting going, had a few small ‘moshes’ in the middle, and then seemed to run out of steam...
