Quite probably the best gig I have ever attended. I have been a fan of the band for about 25 years and this was the first opportunity I have ever had to see them. This was no disappointment. New songs and classics all absolutely delivered. Jonathan's voice perfect accompaniement to soaring music delivered by accomplished musicians. An almost spitlritual experience!

As I couldn't make it, my 9 year old went in my place. She loved it, she thought the lights were fab as well.

Mercury Rev, St. Nicholas Cathedral, Newcastle Upon Tyne - 15th December 2018
This is our third visit to a rev soirée and yet again an unforgettable occasion.Very hard to explain how cosy and intimate their concerts are, combined with polished musicianship. The inevitable sonic attack arrived suddenly, without warning and was greatly appreciated. Can't wait for the next visit, everyone left with a great big grin and the lighting man must have thought it was already Christmas. What a wonderful building, what a wonderful night.
