As I write this it is only 5 days until I stand before Andy Hull and the rest of the band which has the potential of being the greatest gig of my life. I am talking about Manchester Orchestra at The Duchess in York.
The only concern I have and it is a very minor one, is that they will only play songs from their second LP 'Mean Everything To Nothing'. After the set list from their Leeds Festival performance which comprised songs only from this album. Don't get me wrong I absolutely adore 'Mean Everything To Nothing' and is up there with my favourite records of the decade. But they have so much more to offer from the two albums rather than just the one.
I cannot explain how excited I am about seeing this band. I hope they play every song they have ever recorded, I like them that much. Although I am aware they will have to end their set at some point and am pretty certain they won't play forever. Well, what do I expect for my money?
