  1. Great band and I love this song, met Mick Hucknall in a bar in Manchester many years ago, he was a bit miserable to talk to, lol at the time I didn’t know who he was I was just doing my usual chatting at the bar waiting to be served, maybe my scouse accent put him off, a Liverpool verses Manchester thing, we rarely get on 😂🤣

    1. Hi Neil. I love celebrities performing rather than in the real world. The real world may have been his adjustment problem…or, maybe it was the alcohol. 🤔
