The Killers

Last Sunday I had the fab opportunity of going along to the Manchester Arena with a few other people from college, to see how a gig is actually set up!

It was so interesting, seeing the lighting being put up and the sound levels being checked; we were also given a talk on what goes in first and all the different roles that the various people have on a tour. I can honestly say that it was an eye-opener, and there are a LOT more people involved than you may think!

On top of having this amazing opportunity, we also got to go and see The Killers at night for free! They were supported by 'The Howling Bells' who played a really short set but they were so good. Needless to say, The Killers played brilliantly; they had so much energy and sounded just as good live as they do on recordings. 

I hope more opportunities like this come along as it was so much fun. (Unfortunately, I couldn't take any photos of the talk or the stage being set up but I managed to get a few good ones from the gig!)
