The Coral returned to Liverpool last night, drawing their first headline tour in three years to a close, with bassist Paul Duffy telling the delighted crowd "it's a pleasure to be back".
The Merseyside hit-makers have embarked on an 11 date UK tour to honour the 20th anniversary of their eponymous debut album. Taking over Invisible Wind Factory for two nights, the tour will come to a close this evening.
The band are playing their critically-acclaimed album live in its entirety for the first time - one ticket-holder in the crowd emotionally told friends: "Oh my god, I've never heard this song live." The atmosphere was one of pure, unadulterated joy.
