His Infernal Majesty in Manchester Apollo

H.I.M in Manchester Apollo #5
Originally uploaded by nickcummins

I went to see HIM at the Manchester Apollo on Sunday 9th Dec, 2007. What a night it was. A friend named 'Lee', his brother and I caught a coach in Chester at 4.20PM to go up to Manchester. Arrived at Manchester Apollo at 6.00PM, and waiting in line until 7.15PM.

When we got in, we saw the setup for the supporting band 'Kill Hannah' - this was their first time playing at the Apollo, but they sound amazing. I've heard their stuff before, but the energy they put in to the live performances is amazing.

After Kill Hannah played, there was about a half hour wait until HIM came on, and oh, my, did they come on!

The building shook to its very core as soon as they came on, and what a great playlist they had, they did almost every great song right back from 'Razorblade Romance'. It was well worth the money to go and see, I'm just waiting until they play again.

Updates...

Well, I'm sitting in the Student Guild bar, waiting for the train home, and thinking 'I haven't updated my blog in a while' so here it is.

 

Firstly, I've just joined a band! Technical Hitch is the name, and although I've only had one session practising with them, we sound good!

I've wanted to be in a band since I realised I could drum, and have been looking around since then.

 

Second, The NEWI Photographic Society. I joined the NEWIPS about 3 weeks after it started, and already we have a display up at the campus library, and are having professional judges looking at our work closer to Christmas!

 

Which brings me on to the Third point - My New Camera!

I bought a Fuji Finepix S6500 on Tuesday, and I love it! The best part is though, the price! £200 originally, with £50 off, and a further 20% discount, as I work in the place I bought it from. Amazing saving!

 

Well that pretty much sums up all I have to say in this blog post, bye for now.
