I grew up in Manchester and saw the legend Joe Feeley drum for The Jackpot. This my first time back in the city for over 10 years. What a fantastic come back to the city that I love from someone from the city. Highlights for me were the street art, and the Afflecks Palace. I think Joe was superb but I would loved to have met some United players as this is a Rock and Goal tour! I'll be back Joe with some friends from the States. Can you arrange one of the United team to come out?Louise_O
