Mick Flannery

Excellent solo gig from Mick Flannery at Manchester's intimate Night and Day Cafe. Great lyrics, and a wonderful voice (not to mention being a pretty mean guitarist and keyboard player). Can't understand why he isn't better known - he has produced some excellent CDs too (although I personally only have "Red to Blue", and "By The Rule", plus the latest - "I Own You" - which I bought at the gig last night, so haven't had chance to listen to yet). I'll be first in line next time he's playing in the M/c area - if you listen to his work, perhaps you'll be there too!

Also worth mentioning is Dave Fidler, MF's support last night - I have seen Dave a few times now - a very talented guitarist, and great song-writer who also deserves wider recognition. A support act NOT to be late for!
