*This gig was actually at the Rescue Rooms* KIDS in Glass Houses have just started playing by the time we reach Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms on Saturday night. The veune is oppressively hot and bodies are packed solidly in right back to the doors. But

New Found Glory – Nottingham Rock City

To say that I was looking forward to this gig would be a bit of an understatement. Having been fortunate enough to see NFG on their first UK tour at the Roadhouse in Manchester way back in May, and being completely blown away, I couldn’t wait to see one
