due to circumstances this was the first time i have seen the violets since the reformation and the first time they have played in Leicester since early 80's. great support bands and great venue - Firebug in Leicester - great room and limited capacity due to venue downstairs . The violets were great , met all the band as they were doing their own merch . got a signed set list so happy old goth

Rosie and the boys knocked it out of the park. Despite the heat ,(and it was very warm in Fire bug, air-conditioning very feeble) They had energy and wit and for once I could hear every word. Loved it. Praise to for the organisers as there were 3 bands playing but the event ran like clockwork.

Sadly not packed out but was a really good gig at the Thekla ,March Violets were very good and Snake Dance in particular was awesome. Support bands were good especially Cold In Berlin who were excellent .

The March Violets are an English post-punk/gothic rock band formed in 1981 in Leeds, incorporating male and female singers, drum machine rhythms and echo-laden electric guitar, much in the style of fellow Leeds band the Sisters of Mercy.
