Its funny, that comment about winding wheel got me and the missus talking about the origins of the song. There's a theatre in chesterfield near sheffield called the winding wheel and we've always joked that its the inspiration for the song title but last night got me wondering if it by some chance might be! I know the link to the function of a winding wheel is in the lyrics of the song but it would still be very funny if in some distant tour in sheffield 11 years ago he saw a flyer or something for our small local theatre and stole the name!

Nutshell

Actually The End and Lucky Now were the other way around-otherwise it's spot on.

What a great show-despite the aforementioned drunken muppet (who was almost right in front of me). Ryan seemed to be in a much better mood than he was at Gateshead-lots more playful banter/stories/improvs etc. "Mr Cat" was genius.

I've been in The Winding Wheel in Chesterfield quite a few times. Always walk around singing it.

Also, agreed with the point about feeling sorry for the guy who made the joke about the rain and Ryan's response. It wasn't a heckle, just a witty comment but Ryan couldn't hear so assumed it was negative.

Anyway, great show

Finally got a minute and the internet to comment.

Personally, better than last years manchester gig, sound was brilliant i thought and a well respectful crowd - this is Sheffield!

Highlights - PDNLMG, The End, Do I Wait, Mr Cat > NY, NY

Brilliant all round, was about to tell the two girls in front of me (who were constantly kissing each other and talking) to shut the fuck up, but the guy next to them did it, then they left!!

Anyone know what that guy got dragged out for??? Recording???

Being a total shitfaced idiot

[The Boy Hoy]

Was he?! They marched him out in front of me and it looked at first as though he was carrying a baby! Then i thought maybe he'd got a camera in a blanket or somat!!! Shit faced idiot...... saw plenty of them in town after the gig.

yeah the palladium show was another really great show apart from the drunken karaoke idiot??!! what a jerk to spoil it for everyone around him?? but one of the highlights for me was another awesome encore with a cover of Mother. let's hope some of these covers will get a physical release one day!!
