A very enjoyable way to spend a Friday evening at the Deaf Institute in Manchester. The Noble Jacks supported by local band Carl North and the Lonely Hearts.
We saw the Noble Jacks last year at Bury Met when they were supporting the Eskies. Having had such a good time then, it was good to see them back in Manchester.
Modern folkies with a lot of bounce, they don’t do the finger-in-your-ear variety of folk. My favourite song of the evening was The Blacksmith Stomp, which is very aptly named.
I’d not heard of the support band before the gig even though they are local. They had some good songs though, and some catchy tunes.
Folk with a bit of a country feel at times. Might have to keep an eye out for them playing again.
