Fans went wild when Crowded House brought out Johnny Marr as a surprise guest for their huge Castlefield Bowl open-air gig in Manchester on Thursday night. The Antipodean rock icons were in town as part of the continuing Sounds of the City series of concerts at Castlefield Bowl.

And at the finale of the night there was to be a special guest in the form of The Smiths legendary guitarist. Johnny, wearing a smart waistcoat shirt, performed a rocking guitar solo during Whatever You Want stunning fans as he walked out on stage.

Kiwi frontman Neil Finn performed a celebratory jig as Marr worked his magic at the front of the stage. And then Johnny stayed to join the band for a performance of Weather With You, one of the band's biggest ever hits.
