Saw them a few years ago in Leeds Millenium Square. For free thank fuck. Didn't do anything for me and left before the end despite been stood near the front which, to be fair, the mix was excellent, the material however was dull and woeful.

Jim,

I can recommend the Princess hotel on Portland Street - solid 3 star with character - I was pleasantly surprised at how adequate it was.
