TBH I don't really care for BRMC, but this irritating yapping on through gigs has to stop. At Sounds from the Other City in Manc this summer the chatter was so bad that you could actually hear the bands more clearly outside the venues.

Leigh was a big supporter of mine and Hawthonn's work many years ago. If you can help at all, please do.
Leigh from Wyrd Daze, that many of you know from his work with Hookland, suffered a devastating loss.
