LIVE: NICK CAVE – 20/06/2019

-BRIDGEWATER HALL, MANCHESTER- What Nick Cave has done on this tour has truly broken the mould for how an event can be staged – letting the audience ask absolutely anything, in between performing solo at the piano, no moderator, no other host involved, just us and Nick – a very brave move indeed.

– BRIDGEWATER HALL, MANCHESTER – ‘Wait, this one’s got a fuck tonne of chords in it.’ Ben Folds flexes fingers, readies himself and then launches into another track and blow me he’s not kidding.  These aren’t 1, 4, 5 progressions, power chords or riffs.  These songs are complex, thought out, elegant.  And they hang beautifully […]
