There are gigs that often stick in the mind for the venue they are staged, but this show at Durham Cathedral stands out and makes you realise they don't build venues like this any more.
The Sheffield-born singer songwriter, who started his career in the 1990s in the Longpigs and went on to join Pulp before going solo, left the 900-strong audience in awe in the unique venue as he filled every space of the near 900 year old structure with sounds of his gentle acoustic tinkerings to the booming blasts of his electric guitar backed beautifully by the NASUWT Riverside Band.
The show was the Saturday night headline slot in Durham County Council's Durham Brass festival, which staged shows across the county between Sunday, July 10 and Sunday, July 17.
