The Manchester Opera House where we saw the 'Gorillaz' - our reason for going to Manchester. Great, great show. Definitely in my top 10. Awesome venue, string section, 2 choirs, guest appearances by Neneh Cherry, De La Soul & Shaun Ryder among others, fantastic sound...brilliant all round. Believe it when you hear Damon Albarn is a genius.

Nick at the Free Trade Hall (now fancy hotel)...apparently site of very famous Bob Dylan moment where he controversially went electric (Nick re-creating infamous cry of 'judas' from the crowd).

Me and statue of Prince Albert. For no reason in particular.
