What has been the best live band or artist you have seen?
For me it would be Robbie Williams at MK Bowl in september 2006. |

It's a tough choice between Skin (Manchester academy in 2006, I think) or Björk in Manchester Apollo earlier this month.
Both gigs were amazing. Skin shoved her crotch in my face and Björk looked and smiled at me (I did a little wee when she done that!) Other memorable gigs have been CSS in Manchester Academy and Maximo Park in Middlesbrough town hall. |
