Everyone who travelled to the cockpit tonight knew it was going to be magical. The venue situated in Leeds, is minuscule and has limited space, this creates an amazing atmosphere.

The first act on tonight, "Talk To Angels" are a local band from Leeds/Bradford. They impressed the audience, with their clean riffs and tight drum beats. Their set consisted of catchy tunes and emotional lyrics.

Next on "Attack! Attack!" played a grimy set of dirty riffs and untamed screams. However they seem to pull all of this off confidently leaving the audience satisfied.

Luke Pickett is a melodic vocalist, and acoustic solo-ist based in Hertfordshire. Tonight Luke accompanied by the current band on this tour really started off the magic tonight. "Going Down With This Ship" was one of the favourite songs on the set. You can actually see the amount of passion put into his amazing music. Every lyric is sung affectionately and with emotion. Luke has an exceptionally unique voice that projects right to the back of the room. Soft controlled riffs and intense sharp drum beats leaves the whole venue transfixed on Luke.

Throughout the set Luke occasionally chats to the small audience promoting his new album. The line up was brilliant as he played an assortment of old and new songs including "Empty Corridors", "Dream love Cure" and "Blood Money". His band accompanied him well and the music was perfection.

Overall the night was amazing and the atmosphere was incredible.

I strongly believe his fan base will keep growing and we can only expect more.
