Just five weeks out from two sold out shows at Knebworth and a huge homecoming gig at the Etihad Stadium, Liam Gallagher headed just up the road to Blackburn for a very special, intimate charity performance. According to staff at the 2,000-capacity King George's Hall, the event had been in the works for three years before it was eventually announced just last week.
Tickets for the show were understandably like gold dust and fans could only get one by entering a ballot on Adidas' Confirmed app. Lucky winners were then asked to pay a £20 donation to Blackburn-based charity Nightsafe, who provide help for homeless and vulnerably housed young people within the local area.
These days, £20 is considered inexpensive when it comes to buying any gig ticket, so paying it to the see Liam do his thing in such an intimate setting has to be considered a bargain - especially when the money is going to such a worthy cause.
