O/T Johnny Marr at The Manchester Apollo, Saturday 25th October 2014.
Hello,
Talk about partisan crowds, hah-hah! He is more of a natural front-man than you might imagine too, although he could've recited the phone book and still would have had an ovation.
He knows what this Saturday night crowd wanted to hear and duly one third of the set list was a Smiths song: throw in his Electronic single and a terrific run through 'Lust For Life' and you can't go wrong! Oh aye, he certainly can play that Fender Jag too...
