Support was from Soho Dolls who were quite entertaining despite the short set. It's just a shame they didn't to their cover version of Hanoi's Dead By Christmas. Not sure they were right as a warm up band for Hanoi but I enjoyed them.
In the break we had some entertainment in the form of two guys who were obviously trying to impress two very young girls. They were certainly old enough to have been their fathers (and had no hope in hell of actually pulling)!
Hanoi Rocks were incredible. Despite their age they are still firing on all cylinders. Perhaps disappointingly they played more of their newer material from the latest 3 albums rather than their classic back catalogue but that is just a small niggle of what was a fun packed, high energy performance from a band that have still got what it takes. They played "Don't You Ever Leave Me" (the song I used on my photo tribute) which thankfully just made me smile and think of Sharon watching me having fun (with her full approval) rather than bursting into tears like I had expected to do. "Up Around The Bend" finished the set with the place heaving and sweating but it was a great night.
