LUSH, Manchester Academy, Friday 25th November, 2016.

It was a long ol’ poke driving up to Manchester from Plymouth for this one, but it was worth every mile. This was a re-arranged show, it was meant to be in April but was postponed until November and it ended up being LUSH’s final show on their reunion adventure. (maybe ever). 

Highlights were the songs’ ‘Scarlet’ , ‘Desire Lines’, ‘Nothing Natural’. Miki Berenyi and Emma Anderson did a great job of delivering the songs properly as Phil King had dropped out of the band by this point and the replacement bassisst was stood up on stage reading from a songbook which I thought at the start may prove disastrous. But no, it was a SOLID gig from start to finish, ethereal sounds caressing me all night long.  The song ‘Monochrome’ was a perfect way to end the night and their reunion.
