I quite like Sheffield. Not as beautiful and quaint as Durham obviously. I quite like Bishop Auckland too, not been to either for a long long time, but back in the day I spent a fair bit of time in both and thought they were both beautiful little towns. Obviously, technically, Durham is a city, but it's quaint nonetheless.
Sheffield is a completely different beast. A large, industrial city, that's had it's share of hard luck over the years, but seems to be bouncing back to become a vibrant place to visit. Great shopping in Meadowhall and a city centre that isn't quite dead and buried yet, like other Northern cities. Great food, great bars, great music venues, and great micro breweries. Had a few nights out in Sheffield over the last couple of years, and thoroughly enjoyed them every time.
Like Derby, It has the Peak District on it's doorstep, but also has some beautiful parts of Yorkshire to it's North. Not many cities can boast the beautiful surroundings that Sheffield can.
Anyway, give Sheffield a break, that city has been shat on enough, by the powers that be, over the last 40 years.
So if Manchester and Wembley dates are announced this week as strongly rumoured, we will know if there is an obvious GSH. What's the earliest a headliner has been announced? Could it even be made official this week..?
I'll let the other guy speak for himself, but my interpretation of "the Mob" was clearly everybody on social media who wanted to cancel Murphy for her comments. And that wasn't just LGBTQ+ people.
That was literally his answer to: "the LGBTQ+ spectrum who are more likely to buy tickets when acts like [...] Roisin Murphy, etc are booked."
Maybe you thinks he's referring to the Sopranos et al. But for me it's pretty clear.
