Manchester Central

Doves finished off the year in style with a massive hometown show at Manchester Central (though will always be the gmex!) The band reunited with the London Bulgarian choir for some of the set (Firesuite, The Cedar Room among others). They finished the set with Spaceface. More as I have it.

Lincoln Photos

BBC Lincolnshire has put up a wee gallay from the Lincoln Shed gig. Pictures were taken by Carl Spring.

The set played was the same as Leamington Spa with the encore starting with Northenden, confirmed by gristy over at doves board.

Also on the board, Baldilocks reports that a wee interview with the band done before the Leeds Cockpit gig will air next Monday on NME radio sometime between 7-11pm.

Next stop, the final hurrah tonight at Manchester Central! Should be an electric night. If your going along, have a great time!

Leamington Spa Setlist

Setlist for Leamington Spa. Many thanks to Rosie for sending it in! Spaceface was not played.

Cheers Rosie!

Leeds Cockpit NME Party – Click to view full size

Best seat in the house? Looks pretty good to me. Also there taking shots was Brendan Docherty. You can view his flickr gallery here.

If you were at Lincoln tonight, please let me know what happened. Likewise, if you are attending Leamington Wednesday night. Only a couple shows left, before we all bugger off for the holidays. Its hard to believe the year is almost over!

Leeds Cockpit Setlist

Photo of the setlist taken by Madeleine. Spaceface was not played. Also featured is a really big poster, Jimi’s drumstick & a guitar pick from Jez. Nice one! :)

House of Mirrors makes it’s live debut. Where We’re Calling From returns to open the set, just like it did back in 2005. The band move onto Lincoln tomorrow night (Tuesday).

Jimi Interview on XFM

Just a wee interview Jimi did earlier this evening, on XFM. You can download it here. Anyone from Leicester listening, sorry there is no gig there. Jimi meant Lincoln. :)

Jimi on XFM Tonight!

Jimi will be on XFM’s Razor Cuts tonight chatting with Pete Mitchell. There is a good chance I will miss this, so if you happen to record it, let me know.
