THE CIVIL WARS @ NIGHT & DAY CAFÉ, MANCHESTER

[emma]

As locations go, the surroundings provided by a venue on a busy Manchester city centre street are about as far away from the glamorous images that the mind conjures up both visually and musically when thinking of places such as California and Alabama. However, on an uncharacteristically balmy September evening Oldham Street’s Night & Day Cafe – a venue that is no stranger to a good night of live music - is warming up nicely in both temperature and anticipation. A hugely enjoyable support set from London based act the Staves – three sisters who combine wonderfully crafted songs with stunning harmonies – has the crowd well and truly in the mood and almost literally rubbing their hands together in expectation for tonight’s headliners – The Civil Wars.

I only discovered The Civil Wars on Wednesday after watching them on Jools Holland...can't believe they played in Manchester and I could have gone to see them..... It sounds like it was a wonderful show too...am keeping everything crossed they play there again next year
