It was a special night at Manchester's Albert Hall. Marking 10 years since the former Wesleyan church in the city centre was brought back to life as a music venue, a rare performance by Róisín Murphy on Wednesday (May 10) would always be a sell-out.
The Irish musician who was part of nineties pop duo Moloko is known for the outlandish outfits which feature throughout her performances. In fact, all accessories considered, the number of costume changes on the night totalled 10.
The disco diva moved to Manchester at the age of 12 and spent her teenage years in the city after insisting on staying when her parents split up and returned to Ireland. It was during this period that, she says, she started to identify as a 'weirdo'.
