Re: Edwyn collins gig in [ manc]

Edwyn Collins really is a top bloke. Orange Juice are one of the truly great bands from the 1980s and Edwyn's solo albums are also brilliant. It is so inspiring to see how he has battled back from the brink of death and re-started his music career. I've seen him many times over the years and I urge anyone who is not familiar with him to seek out his back catalogue.

I posted a thread about 2007 Electric Prom gig

Pity I won't be able to see 7th November Bloomsbury Ballroom gig because I'll be in Liverpool to see Morrissey.

Re: Edwyn Collins gig

yeah i was there great gig. mani was there to see his bandmate play guitar. the cribs co-written song is crap but the OJ stuff still greats fresh! few new additions to the set (consolation prize, new version of hope & glory? more upbeat)

I was there too, great gig, Edwyn semed to really enjoy himself and he seems to be progressing with his singing . Spotted Mani too stood next but one to me.

Blue Boy was fab.
