Thanks to everyone involved, it was a brilliant night.

Review of Gang Of Four (rescheduled)

Fantastic night out. Great to see so many younger people enjoying this great band. Venue is small so you are close to the stage where ever you are, beer prices average, I will keep my eyes open for more gigs at Islington Mill

Review of Gang Of Four (rescheduled)

Excellent gig. The remodelled Gang of 4 works a treat. Andy Gill is on of the best guitarists of the new wave era! Fantastic!!

Review of Gang Of Four (rescheduled)

This marked a first for me, seeing the band play live that have produced two of the most loved and played albums in my collection, Entertainment and Solid Gold.
As usual for this venue, the attention to the sound mix was spot on. Sure it was loud but all the elements were audibly and viscerally there to be heard and felt in your solar plexus.

The band were tight but also in playful mood, with Andy Gill gently goading the audience with the question of whether we were in Manchester or Salford. They played recent tracks but it was the classics off those early LPs that really got the crowd moving - Damaged Goods, Anthrax, At Home He's A Tourist and I Found That Essence Rare, all hit the spot.

In my ratings I've given top marks for the friendly crowd; this is despite some over exuberant dancer spilling her drink on my jacket. Ah well, lucky I've got a washing machine that works. Gang Of Four mind you, may be in need of a new microwave. (Don't ask...)

Review of Pen:Chant Presents... Jess Green\'s Burning Books

This was a quality night out. Islington mill is a little gem,full of character and perfect for smaller scale events. Jess's performance was brilliant ,,humorous and scathing and well supported by several other talented guest performers not least Ben Mellor.

Review of Pen:Chant Presents... Jess Green\'s Burning Books

Only recently moved to Manchester and only recently discovered the delights of spoken word poetry and this was a great night, with amazing acts and in a special venue. Will definitely go again!
