When Miles Kane announced he was doing a special 'Rock 'N' Roll Crimbo' gig in Manchester, it was difficult to know what to expect.
Would it just be loads of Christmas covers with a couple of his own songs thrown in? Would there be any Christmas theme at all or was the gig just named as such because was scheduled to take place a week-and-a-bit before the big day?
Upon walking into the gorgeous 1,000-capacity hall at New Century for the first time in my life, I got my answer. Initially I spotted the red lights on the ceiling, but then as the delicate vocals of the night's first support act Pixey drew my eyes to the stage, I saw a Christmas tree in the corner and tinsel draped over the keyboard.
