Laura Cantrell played at The Southern

It was an icy, cold night in Manchester. Dan and I had never been to the Suthern before and it had never looked especially inviting. It turned out to be quite velvety inside, with a large function room upstairs, lots of small tables around the side of a low stage/dancefloor. Only three times in my life have I watched a concert sitting down, but I much prefer it. The music was great - Laura's voice/music makes me feel calm and sometimes a bit sad, but really relaxed. We met some people and I found one a bit annoying, looking down on the people asking LC for autographs at the end when she came out for a drink. Being contrary I headed over with a beermat for a memento of the evening. She was very friendly and signed this...
