Clearly my music taste has been stuck in the mid 90's the last few days.
Last night I saw Miles Hunt and Erica Nochalls from the Wonderstuff at the Little Civic in Wolves. Brought out my sentimental side. They're local. I grew up in Stourbridge, so the home-town sense is undeniable, but I saw the Stuffies at my first festival, hugged complete strangers in the crowd at their reunion gigs, got misty-eyed at Piece of Sky so many times.
Wonderful gig. 70% Miles' solo tunes, but the violin added such warmth, and the tunes that really meant something to you growing up, well... The music lasts!!!!
(when the whole audience, and the song!, just kick off at 1:31, it gets me every time.).
MASSIVELY underrated band. Compared to say the nowhere-near-as-good James, or
ANYONE from Manchester/Liverpool from the same period.
