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.
