Not really a support act but caught Swedish band Kent first on on the mainstage at Leeds 2000, they were pretty amazing and almost noone was there.
Worst... hmm, probably one of the multitude of Oasis/Manc influenced clones that seem to swagger in the pubs of most towns at some point or other.






I do a bit of singing with Above & Beyond

From the very minimal gigs I've been to;

Worst - Brian Kennedy (Went to the Clannad gig as my mate had a spare ticket, and sadly I was sat next to a middle aged woman who spent the whole time with the shouting and singing and stood up)

Best - I Am Kloot (This must have been in their very early years, when they were supporting The Webb Brothers, I have liked them ever since)

Wow I am very surprised to see Joy Division on the worst list. I thought most people who saw them loved them? out of interest why were they so bad? Much love to John Copper Clarke and still doing the rounds today.

My Vitriol.. I had forgotten about them! I actually got into Leeds Festival with a My Vitriol artists pass many years ago and had people asking for my autograph... which kind of made me smile as I am not sure any of the band look remotely like me!! are they still going? Remember they were touted as something special around the time Coldplay, Muse, JJ72 were doing the rounds.
