Good News: I saw them in Manchester on Friday and though they were very good indeed, up until the last few months I've avoided Level 42 as the songs and bass playing used to do nothing for me my old opinion on Mark King being - impressive technique but is it musical?, also I hesitate to put this but some of the songs are 'cheesy'..again, runs for cover , of course I was basing this on the mainstream stuff and not the early stuff.
.....now a bit older and wiser I've come around to it as I was looking for other strings to add to my bow (so to speak).
The songs do stand up to the test of time in a cheesy / retro sort of way.
I though Mark King was on top form playing wise and banter / interaction with the crowd.

Bad News: I missed Down and Orange Goblin at the Academy as they were on the same night.
