Sufjan stimulates

I was really expecting a wonderful show from Sufjan Stevens http://www.sufjan.com/ and when the 10 piece band came on in masks and wings ...making the packed , hushed , reverent crowd go crazy... I knew it was going to be a special night. http://www.soundsfamilyre.com/soundsfamilyre/ss/ Indeed it was..the band veared between gentle folk and hard free jazz , they enthralled and excited me and the crowd ,who remained absolutely quiet,until the end when they roared their appreciation. A superb ,reflective and varied night of soulfull, moving music. It even turned on the Manchester Evening News http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/entertainment/music/livereviews/s/227/227295_sufjan_stevens__academy_2.html He will be back..but never in a venue so intimate
