Madness - 2008-12-18 - Manchester Central, UK

Manchester Central (formerly G-MEX) is an ex-railway station of aircraft hangar proportions.

The crowd were in high, pre-Christmas spirits, so I opted for a position further back than I normally would have chosen, but still central to the stage.

The sound where I was stood was great and the surrounding crowd weren't too noisy (apart from my wife who had a sneezing fit at the start of The Sun & The Rain!).
