    Brandon Flowers @ Rock City
    Such an icon in a small venue. More than lived up to expectations!

    Disappointing, barely said a word to the audience, ended early and didn't play Layla.

  • A guest 100% for Nearly Dan · Fri, 01 Dec 2023

    I have been meaning to check this band out for quite some time having been a Steely Dan fan since Day 1.
    Saw they were coming to The Metronome and daughter bought me a ticket for my birthday back in October.
    All I can say is they were absolutely fabulous.Worked their way through Steelys back catalogue and surprised me with some of the songs played.
    I liked the singers repartee with the audience. A really enjoyable evening.
    Hope to see them in 2024.

  • A guest 100% for Mr. Scruff · Sun, 01 May 2016

    Been to a few Mimm gigs at the Irish, this was up there with GP 2 years ago! Great vibe, friendly atmosphere, happy music and a bouncy crowd! Didn't expect Scruff to start at 9, would have liked a warm up before AND after but that's no complaint - a night like that never lasts long enough!

    Brilliant!! Proper showman/entertainer. Love the interaction he has with his audience. Shows his personality. Funny guy. And if course songs are great - good selection.
