Is it still Kirk Brandon's band? I know Spear of Destiny are still going with him leading it.

Unfortunately not being the venue rather than the agent/promoter we get the short end of the wedge

As far as I'm aware he is,
Here what I found when I googled it,
Led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Kirk Brandon (formerly of The Pack), the original group also consisted of bassist Stan Stammers (formerly of The Straps and The Epileptics), saxophonist John "Boy" Lennard, guitarist Steve Guthrie and drummer Luke Rendle (formerly of Crisis and The Straps).

Co-op arena opened to general public tonight to a free concert so ppl could see it, but already loads of complaints about ppl being turned away or tickets getting cancelled an hour before it starts.

It looks like every other Co-Op I have been to!

First look inside Co-Op Live in Manchester / Manchester Evening News

Here some of the price list,

8.35 for the cheapest pint and 35 bottles of wine - here are the prices inside Manchester's brand new Co-op Live

Pity it's too small to read.

You ever seen Limmy talking about how he had to pay ?5,000 to rent the lights?
