Tonight's gig was at the Birmingham Institute, so after work my friend and I headed into town, parked up nearby and we made for the Bullring branch of Handmade Burger Company, which was very enjoyable.
We arrived at the Institute early enough to be near the front. The support were a three piece from Manchester called Man Made who have only just signed a record deal. They were decent enough but in my opinion there was nothing special with the songs to make them stand out. However, the drummer was very entertaining.
Then It was time for Johnny Marr. On stage for a total of about 90 minutes, he played a mix of classic Smiths songs, Electronic's fantastic Getting Away With It and tracks from his two solo albums.
All in all, it was a great gig played in a brilliant atmosphere.
Next week I'll be in Bristol to see one of the very best bands around - Hot Chip.
