@ Newcastle o2 Academy, August 7 2010
Going for the line-up circa 1991 – the Use Your Illusion era minus Izzy Stradlin – headliners Guns 2 Roses swagger their way on stage to the intro of It’s So Easy.
Gilby Clarke, Matt Sorum and Duff McKagen get a warm welcome but Slash, as ever, steals the moment. Hidden behind a mass of curls and boasting the trademark top hat and low slung Gibson, the only things missing are a smouldering Marlborough red and a bottle of JD to complete the look.

Main Stage, July 24 2010
Finally freed from the grip of the AC/DC juggernaut, The Answer can get back to doing what they do best – whipping crowds into a blues rock frenzy by firing off retro cool anthems right, left and centre.
Last year’s heroic stint on the Rock N Roll Train may have opened up Ulster’s finest to millions of potential fans and ensured the band has gained a strong foothold in the US market.
