Charlatans, Roundhouse 31/5/10
Billed as The Charlatans performing Some Friendly, they missed a trick here really. I was expecting the album in full and in sync followed by a greatest hits set. Instead we got ervy song they recorded associated with the album including all b-sides and unreleased tracks which are included in the reissue and nothing else. It was also not in order meaning a long wait for set ender Sporston Green. Still we got a few classics such as You're Not Very Well and Opportunity which I don't think I've previously heard at a Charlatans gig.
Prior to the gig, in the Richard Steele nea Belsize Park, MTV presenter Alex Zane was spotted drinking, not as impressive as Peter Hook within the venue!
