Liam Fray Plays Salford Lads Club

added 19 August 2010 at 17.56

Liam Fray became the first person to play a gig at the legendary Salford Lads Club last night (August 18) with a lengthy solo show just for Xfm.

Take a look at the photos here

The Courteeners frontman - armed only with a small selection of acoustic and electric guitars, plus a tambourine - played a two-hour show for a tiny audience of Xfm competition winners, featuring classics like 'Not Nineteen Forever', 'What Took You So Long' and 'You Overdid  It Doll'.

He also unveiled a couple of new songs, including 'It'll Take More Than A Weekend Away To Fix This Mess' and 'Sunflower'.

He was joined briefly onstage by Courteeners guitarist Daniel Conan Moores for a rendition of 'Will It Be This Way Forever?'

The show was stage by Xfm in conjunction with Salford City Council. Salford Lads Club, of course, became famous after being used as a location for the inner gatefold photo in The Smiths' classic album 'The Queen Is Dead'.

2. This was an absolutely epic gig. Liam was on top form and it was such an incredible set. Easily one of the best I've ever been to! I'm a lucky lucky girl to have been part of it!
