I think* that's the first gig I've been to where the singer drunkenly fell off the stage onto me and brought a stack of speakers down with him onto my head. Great fun though, absolute carnage and I got another setlist.

Ash were great fun at Newcastle Boiler Shop last night, mixing up a top selection of hits with their new album. And I kept up my run of gig goodies with Tim's setlist.

Spineshank, Drowning Pool and (hed) p.e. taking us back in time last night at the Boiler Shop, Newcastle.
Have to admit I was there for Spineshank, who played The Height of Callousness in full, glad to see Jonny made it for his first full gig of the tour!

Yesterday consisted of Guisborough coming back from 2-0 and 3-2 down to win 4-3 against second placed Shildon with 3 penalties and 2 sendings off to go 6 points clear at the top. Then an evening of this. Decent day all round.

3 great nights out in a row ended with Inside No. 9 at Hull New Theatre. Absolutely brilliant, thoroughly recommended if you haven't caught it, like all the stuff they do condensed into 2 hours. And I was curious to see how they incorporated the guest star, very funny.

Eluveitie, Amorphis and Gatecreeper were a great supporting cast for Arch Enemy at Manchester Apollo last night. Pulling from different corners of metal for a diverse bill.

Arch Enemy were immense at Manchester Apollo last night, with Alissa getting into the Halloween spirit. And I caught not one, but TWO of Michael's plectrums!

Reef rocking Manchester Ritz last night, playing their debut album Replenish in full, plus a bunch of other songs spanning their career. Always a fun band to spend an evening with.
