I feel incredibly grateful to be part of the sold out crowd of 1,000 that managed to witness the sheer perfection of it. The lads have had an incredibly busy week, pop up shops, album promoting and supporting Red Rum Club at the sold out M&S Bank arena, but with the ferocity they took to th ..read more
