The 3rd Manchester v Cancer gig was held at the MEN Arena, Manchester on Saturday 23rd February.
At the end of the night, after the scheduled bands had played, for the finale, Badly Drawn Boy (aka Damon Gough) was joined on stage with Peter Hook (Joy Division / New Order), Andy Rourke and David Potts (Monaco) and a few other musicians and performed four songs - the first of which was The Smiths 'Please Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want', followed by a new Badly Drawn Boy song, then Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' (dedicated to Tony Wilson) and lastly, John Lennon's 'Instant Karma', where Northside's singer, Dermo, also joined them on stage to sing along too, which I was well chuffed with as I had got the bus down to the gig with Dermo and his girlfriend late afternoon! youtube link:

  • What may that be, I hear some of you ask...

    Well, it would be a morning in bed with Mikey Farrell with a David Soul best of cd playing on the stereo and a bowl full of oranges on the table just waiting to be peeled.

    Pure simple, selfish pleasure!
