In the midst of Eurovision Fever in Liverpool, and believe me it is everywhere, are some more sedate corners of pop-culture that eschew the omnipresent pink, yellow and blue livery of the event. Sadly, as fantastic as the event may be, it can never be seen a celebration of “great” music.
Indeed, it's that continual surge to broaden horizons and push barriers that's ensured The Coral's longevity and relevance lasts well into the band's third decade, even if the band members themselves have gotten a little older and wiser over time.
The Coral's self-titled debut LP contains the top 20 hit single "Dreaming of You", which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize turns twenty in August. Ahead of this significant milestone, the Skelly brothers and their band took to the road to commemorate this LP's poignant anniversary.
How this gig tonight is not a sell-out is a mystery – not only are The Coral a live marvel to behold, their platinum-selling debut is probably, as well as commercially, one of their best.
