Within Temptation concert at the Academy Manchester

Better late than never!!!

Last Wednesday I travelled to Manchester to watch a Dutch symphonic rock group, 'Within Temptation', perform tracks from their current cd, as well as old favourites (including mine, 'Sparkling Angel' ). It was a sell out. I had a great evening and left with buzzing ears and a hoarse throat!!!

I had watched them perform in Holland a few years ago.

On their home territory they had pyrotechnics, flaming crucibles, huge statues and a small symphony orchestra,as well as some amazing stilt butterfly people. Didn't manage photo's this time so have included some of my sons brilliant ones from that concert
