Always a pleasure to perform these songs with my oldest and dearest friend @Johnny_Marr Photos by @danadistortion @TheGarden

Nice one Andy.

Join me, @Tim_Burgess and @StreetStephen tonight to listen to what is considered by all four band members as our greatest album. Personally I reckon it's Stephen Street's 'finest hour' too. The production is superb. See you's at 9pm x
