Went to see the Divine Comedy in Manchester last night.
They/He were/was ace. Great musicians and a good support act too.

Anyone else like them or just me?

Hahaha! That's excellent, Alfie!

Sul, to be totally honest with you, I am a middle-aged (almost) old bag and I don't pay much attention to the latest bands anywhere. I am stuck in the 80's. But I did read an article about a South African band called "something poliesiekar" who got into trouble with fans over a blasphemous note made on someone's purse. The Afrikaans community here is mostly quite conservative and religious.
