We don't all munch haggis up here, much the same as a loathing of the French and talking with plumbs in one's gob doesn't start south of Gretna.
What I can't understand is how zealous the staff at the hall were to stop folk dancing and yet they let this guy apparently cause a nuisance - odd. I'm afraid if he was near me, I'd have got staff over to deal with him. Far too much of this nonsense happening at gigs (not particularly talking Harley here). Have had at least three gigs spoiled in the past few years by pissed up idiots or women (sorry!) who can't shut their trap for five minutes.
We were sat up in the Choir Circle which turned out to be a great position - whereas we were in the stalls at Brum. I thought the audience were a tad restrained to be honest - it didn't have quite the same atmosphere as at Birmingham. The performance was absolutely superb, less 'nervy' and more assured. The band played wonderfully, and sad to hear about Lincoln not being well of late. The sound was much clearer for the Psychomodo, took a good three songs at the start to balance things out.
Yet again, a wonderful night to remember.
Looking forward to The Sage in June (from the front row!)
PS: Rock and Roll Parade...hint hint

Was it the same haggis munching pissed up knuckle-dragger who heckled incoherently all through the show, then at the encore came down to the front, heckled Steve again at close quarters and not content with that, managed to climb his way onto the stage as the band were taking their bow and grabbed Steve in a headlock? It was nice to see you again though, and looking so well. x
