Feeder


Feeder aren't exactly a band I follow, but when they played at the Corn Ex it wouldnt have been daft not to bother seeing them. Although the ticket is a balcony ticket, I was actually standing: one of the probalems at the Corn Ex is that they take tickets from you at the door and then just leave piles of them for you to collect at the end of the show if you want them, meaning you never get the ticket you bought back again. From what I remember their set was pretty cool, but by this point I think I was "gigged out" and not really enjoying the event as much as I probably should. Shame really.

Dave Spikey

Dave played to less than 100 people at the Junction on his "Living the Dream Tour" but was one of the funniest guys I'd ever seen. We went as a result of loving Phoenix Nights, and were pleasantly surprised to see Young Kenny (Justin Moorhouse) walking towards the venue as we arrived. We had a chat along the lines of "Ah, it's nice of you to support Dave", "yeh, I'm supporting", "can you sign my DVD?", "okay", "thanks! see you then." It was only when the show began that we realised Justin was ACTUALLY supporting Dave - he was his opening act!
