Thanks to Tony Wilson for making my days in Manchester ’sound’. RIP. His legacy lives on though with a cracking comeback from the Happy Mondays, looking forward to a completely stupid madchester night out when they tour with this one.

The Wife dragged me along to see the little purple fella this weekend, the one who has given his album away, ‘for free’ to all in-sundry. ‘Free’ with the Daily Mail, ‘free’ with every concert ticket bought (although you get it on arrival, as opposed to with ticket delivery – how can you learn the words?!)

So if everything was so ‘free’, how come there are venue police running around trying to stop people take pictures? Do they actually think no one else will go as soon as the piccies are up on the internet?

Was he any good? I would love to say he was amazing, because he should be. He was OK. I did have very good seats though, with direct access to the bar. The trick is, to drink.

Oh, and the official glossy A4, 25 page concert programme, with pictures, was £15 a pop. That might be something to do with it.
