Diary live in Liverpool.

This was a beautiful day, even though we were all feeling a tad broken.

A couple of weeks before their UK tour, I noticed @diarysounds were still trying to sort a Liverpool gig. I asked around and not much was happening until @drewalemon stepped up to the plate. Massive thanks to Cait for arranging the show at short notice and putting together such a strong and varied bill.

Sometimes,a band just clicks with you and you have to see them again given half the chance. @diarysounds are one such band.

This time they played the sweatiest gig known to mankind - Saturday afternoon at @focuswales at @theparishwxm.

They won hearts and minds, and their karaoke game is strong.

Bloody love @diarysounds
