The perfect blend of intimacy and communal joy, the power of storytelling and perfectly realised pop combine together into a glorious few hours at Manchester’s Albert Hall tonight with Badly Drawn Boy and The Lightning Seeds.

Arriving to the venue ahead of the scheduled door opening times I could see people filing into the Town Hall so I walked it and got set up. Before I knew it the lights dimmed and Badly Drawn Boy walked out onto stage to a handful of waiting ears.

Stood under a giant strawberry, The Lightning Seeds front man clearly feels at home. He and a newly assembled band are enjoying a trip down memory lane with a performance of Jollification, the first half of their gig.
