Yeah! :D:D:D
To say I have a grin a mile wide is probably an understatement. Dark City kicked some serious ass.
I could talk about how bad the soundcheck was but thankfully, with a lot of us being mates we managed with barely a murmour of discontent...and with things only running an hour behind schedule to boot.
The venue was insane. Literally a labyrinth. Apparently the most haunted place in Britain. The vaults were used as an underground city during the plague so you get an idea of the scale of the place...all lit by candlelight. Wow. I think they have now blocked up certain parts that lead on to the farthest vaults, but even so, perfectly possible to get well and truly lost in there. You could see where you wanted to get to on the levels above, but getting there was another matter.
As for the gig...it felt like a homecoming and I've never been further north than Boro before. I'm sure other people will sum it up in words from a less biased perspective, but that was f**king awesome. :D
