Manchester has proven to be a great city for live music. Gorilla is a perfect small venue that holds about 500 people. Lonelady took the stage about 8. Her set was well received by fellow locals (as well as Peter Buck watching stage right). Luke Haines and Peter Buck took the stage about 9 with a keyboard player, bass player, and drummer. The music was fun, loose, and raw. Nothing felt scripted. All of the songs (apart from one new one) were taken from the 2 albums they created over the past few years. I have seen Peter Buck play on other side projects. He is a really humble guy who loves music and would play anywhere with anyone. He looks so content when he is on stage, a feeling which certainly shinnes through in his fluid and polished guitar playing. I used to go to a lot of gigs like this back in the 90’s and early 2000’s. What better way could there possibly be to spend a Monday night?

THE LUKE HAINES POWER TRIO, 100 Club, London - 28th November 2018
I've not seen Luke Haines for over 20 years and it was such a treat to hear his songs live again. Not just the songs, but the banter, a bit of reading from one of his books, and a ton of wickedly incisive and topical wit. An absolute songwriting legend.
