“Red Guitars were on fire last night.” Jonathan Wood (Twitter/X)

“They had great songs, cutting lyrics and a guitar sound to die for, but were their tastes too eclectic to hold an indie audience who rarely strayed out into the sun? In the cold light of day it seemed like a good question. In the live arena, however, every doubt was blown away.
“Having seen many band reformations we can genuinely say that very few have been as enjoyable, edifying and heart‐warming as Red Guitars were in Manchester. We always say that if you are going to be in a band then look like you are in a band, and the Red Guitars looked fabulous. Obviously they were older, but they were dressed to the nines and, really importantly, they all had fabulous shoes, with Jerry's red suede numbers particularly splendid…They received a great reception and appeared delighted; it was incredibly well deserved. This was a terrific evening, one of the best of the year.” Adam Hammond
