Amazing gig!
A guest for The Polyphonic Spree · Wed, 09 Sep 2015
If Ren had never met Stimpy there would still be Happy Happy Joy Joy thanks to The Polyphonic Spree.
Their music lifts and invigorates and is truly a most positive experience.

One of the most promised young band out there. I always enjoy them live.
The Pearl Hearts were also very good.A guest for Gun · Fri, 27 Mar 2015
Excellent set list, delivered to an excellent crowd. New songs blending well with old. Shame nothing off of 4th album.
Great to have them back.A-MKC was there for Black Star Riders · Fri, 13 Mar 2015
What can you say!! First time seeing this band I have heard a lot of. They did not disappoint! Played a combination of their own songs ans classics from Thin Lizzy. Brilliant!!
A-MKC was there for Europe · Fri, 13 Mar 2015
Loved the gig. Joey was, as always on top form. The venue was full and was lucky to get near the front. Played a lovely selection to please everyone. Firebox was phenomenal along with the light show. They could have gone on for much longer for me!!
A guest for Death · Wed, 04 Mar 2015
Good gig, only thing I found annoying was the time advertised for Death Dta going on kept changing it went from 9pm to 9:30am, then on the day was posted at 9:20 but the band didn't come on til 9:30 so I saw less of the band than I thought I would.
Five questions about the building, not the gig

2,304 concerts logged here and not one answer yet. Five taps - the place itself, then the sound, the sightlines, getting in and out and what the bar charges - and this page starts telling people what Club Academy is actually like to stand in. There's room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.

A guest 100% for Midlake · Tue, 13 Jun 2023
This was the first time I had seen Midlake - they were somehow lost in my most recent batch of years of wilderness and avoidance of well-evidenced opportunities of joy. I had a tiny cut out from a newspaper recommending one album - probably Van Occupanther - that was there to remind me to buy it but I never did. Now that I'd fully submerged myself in the sounds of this band, I was extremely interested to see them play what I believed would be a most-recent-album-focused set (Bethel Woods). Which would have been fine by me - I am an album listener after all. Once on, they were instantly sublime and remained so for the duration. The time I have to write this doesn't really allow me to do credit to what went on - Eric spoke amusingly of his previous night in Manchester and movingly of a piece of music written for drummer McKenzie's son, for example - there was much more. I was so over-stimulated by the occasion (as is my wont) that I spent 10 minutes arguing with their tour bus security about getting my t-shirt signed by the band, while my partner was inside the venue rather sensibly just talking to them, and getting two t-shirts signed. Amazing gig, and I would gladly travel much further to see them. Having said that, I do hope they will visit and play in Liverpool one day. Thanks, Midlake. You're a very special band.
