TV Smith as support to boot! They've also sold out Rock City...well, the downstairs venue I imagine.

I've never thought they were shite. But that 'Nellie' song is certainly some shit baggage. :grin:

I thought they were great last night, a good crowd in, the band were on top form cam eon at about 9.30 finished just before 11. They have TV Smith come on and do Gary Gilmore's eyes which sounds fantastic.
