HW: Liverpool

[mark von bargen]

Out of interest, this is the first HW gig in Liverpool that I have missed in
24 years (and I'm only 28, well, err 38). How full was the crowd at
Liverpool? I love that venue, the Royal Court but haven't had a chance to
get there yet since it reopened a few weeks ago following a major refit. I
drove back from the Lakes on Sunday but then the M6 was closed following a
crash and it took me 5 hours to do the journey. So near etc.. etc..
especially after persuading my wife to come home a night earlier than
planned.
Good to hear that the fine performance that I saw at Leeds has been
consistently repeated. And sell-outs too, whats going on?
