I think this link should work. If not, it does not work.

@ Manchester Night & Day
These day time showcases tend to be a little uncomfortable,
for performer and audience as it's not either's natural
environment, especially if most of the audience is middle
aged men with canvas bags and an air of hangover
surrounding them. But opening with the slow burning
'Midnight Special' Thom had the audience captivated. A
man obviously from the Dylan school of 'you should write
ten songs a week, and throw away nine', every time I've
seen him he's played a different set. For this one man
show, without the backing of his Barrow Gang, Thom seemed
to play it by ear, playing a mix of new songs and oldies not
yet picked up by his online following. Thom's style flits
between Gram Parsons style country yearning and what you'd
hear if you slowed down Prince and gave him an acoustic
guitar. The gloriously disjointed 'Caligoo' was a stand out
track, unfortunately by this time most of the audience were
comparing notes on who they'd seen the night before, no
cool was lost though, and Thom proved to the few people
here to see him simply to enjoy it, that he's a pretty special
live proposition.
As is Kid Harpoon, a natural born story-teller, he can't play a
song without telling the audience (some of which were still
asking each other who the last guy was) what it's about and
where it came to him. If Thom had soothed everyone's hangovers,
Kid Harpoon was here to blow the cobwebs away,
playing the ferocious '57' and the unhinged 'First we Take
Manhatten' early on in his set. For me, the standout song was
the brilliant 'Childish Dreaming' a lullaby that makes everyone
yearn for the childish innocence they once had, and
question when they lost it. By the time he reached 'Late For
The Devil' and 'Colours' the crowd was won over, many of
which I'm sure were itching to get outside and ring there boss,
and they should, because this is one of the brightest song
writing talents of this generation.
