  • A guest 60% for Average White Band · Tue, 24 Nov 2015

    Having just seen Hamish Stewart and his amazing band at the Blue Lounge in New Brighton, I was looking forward to seeing the other half of AWB again. I wasn't disappointed with my trip to Manchester. The band were great and the lead singer was top notch. i look forward to the next time.

    Absolutely awesome. The best gig I have been to at the Academy. Love this band.
    Was glad they finally came to the UK! Will be keeping an eye out for the next time they tour. Got right to the front row for this. Maria is awesome! Puts on a really good show. Got some cool photos and vids from this gig and they played my favorite tune WHORE. Will post some pics if I can...
