Well now, the little planet we call home is an even stranger place than it was when I wrote my last review for the wonderful Morrissey gig of 6 th March 2020 that took place at the First Direct Arena in Super Leeds.  Back then, the Covid-19 outbreak was in the post, and boy was it delivered!  What an absolute catastrophe it has been.  I’m very glad to have made it this far to be quite honest with you, as there are a great many people who have not been anywhere near as fortunate.  But on the plus side, former ...
