That the gig happened at all was a miracle with so many other acts falling by the side but thanks to the tenacity of the performers, the venue and the fans that were willing to put their faith in the hands of strangers, it all turned out well.
Live Gig
EMF, 30th Anniversary Show, The 100 Club, London, December 10 2021
Ian Dench was clearly having a blast, talking about learning to play and how performing in The 100 Club was a dream come true for him given he was on the same stage that The Sex Pistols had played on and it was them, back in the 1970s that inspired him to play.
Manic Street Preachers, Public Service Broadcasting, SSE Arena, Wembley, December 3rd 2021
