Steve Hillage at the mecca of the modern dance, The Ritz, in Manchester last night. The first Steve Hillage Band shows for 40 years(!) and it was great. A super tight 7 piece band - Steve, Miquette, 2 more guitars, sax, bass and drums - produced thunderous riffage and extended solos from the man, who was obviously having a whale of a time. Great lights too. He's playing Shepherd's Bush Empire tonight, then more shows in November.
