Tonight's headliner was @RichardHawley @barrowhill41 It was the usual classic set with the occasional dad joke thrown in.

Tonight's support act was @bernardbutler @barrowhill41. To be honest the sound wasn't brilliant and there was a tall annoying prick stood right in front of me. But his playing and singing were fine. Extra marks for his post set announcement about a badly parked car.

Pleased to be able to report that despite many years on the clock @TravisBand still put on a good show. Still doing new songs and not dialling it in unlike some of their contemporaries @PerfVenuesSheff

Tonight's opening act @O2AcademyLeeds are the #thefleshtones a band from NYC who debuted at cbgbs in 1976. I've heard the name but knew nowt about them. They played trashy camp garage rock. For fans of the ramones, cramps and the nuggets compilation.

Enjoyable set from @fjwords and @neocia_ @bodyswakefield tonight. Spoken word, beats, between songs chat and an ironing board. It doesn't get much more rocknroll @EstablishmentWF

I can't think of many more natural frontmen who've played @bodyswakefield than the singer from @aboutfacesband (including james from yard act). The band were all great performers with a strong set and plenty of energy.

A great set of catchy rock numbers from @KatyJPearsonnn @LdsIrishCentre interlaced by a handful of quiet folk songs

Tonight's support @danagavanski had a structured set Starting with sad piano ballads. Then moving onto sad guitar ballads. It finished with a sad electropop song. As a big of fan of sad songs I really enjoyed it. Most of the audience also seemed to appreciate it. @LdsIrishCentre

Well done Mrs windbag getting us tickets to see @michaelkiwanuka @Nath_Brudenell. Not seen him since quidrophenia at oporto. He's moved on a bit since then. His set was strippedback & full of great tunes old and new.

An amazing set from @dilettantesongs @GraystonThe. Uncatergorisable, melodic and engaging. I'm genuinely shocked that they aren't playing to much bigger audiences. Hopefully that will change soon.

Enjoyable set from #mariefranc @GraystonThe. Reminded me a little of 10000 maniacs.

Apparently tonight was @HowlandHum's biggest ever show. The new line up has really gelled. A thought occurred to me when listening to sweet fading silver. With the sax and the lyric about cars is there a Springsteen influence in there? @LdsIrishCentre
