Saw them a couple of years ago and thought they were brilliant.

Thought this might be about Ashley Williams for a moment.

Saw them last year in Bridlington, fantastic. Got tickets for Tuesday in Leeds, really looking forward to it, especially with John Grant on the bill.

Didn’t think they were big enough for a venue of that size.

One of those bands with a subtly large following?

John gray is worth seeing alone. Brilliant lyricist and some ground breaking electronic music

John Grant has collaborated with Elbow on the latest record I believe. Not really into that but his solo work is awe inspiring. Unsure if he's supporting or joining Elbow but if he's on the bill playing his own stuff do not miss it.

Obviously Wilsdenclaret has never thrown his curtains wide - one opinion as good as any other Wilsden ?
