I've been to see them twice (at the MEN & Apollo) and honestly thought they were superb.
Pete Dohety did an accoustic gig at the acadamy earlier this year and was quality....the downside was that about 10.30pm - half way through back from the dead, he had to stop and shouted out, i've got to go cos im on a curfew!!! Wasn't too impressed after spending £25.
