The Blossoms gave fans an early Christmas gift at their Manchester gig on Friday. They surprised a packed O2 Apollo in Ardwick by inviting another local hero to the stage.
Leader singer and founder of The Courteeners, Liam Fray, went down a storm when he sang his band's classic from the "St Jude" album, "Not Nineteen Forever". He joined the Stockport band on the second night of a four consecutive performances at the venue.
It was a neat gesture. In 2015 the Blossoms supported the Courteeners during that band's awesome seven-night stint at the Apollo. Now seven years on Stockport's finest - who earned a five-star review from the Manchester Evening News for the first of the four performances this week - are headlining the 3,500 capacity legendary venue.
