Courteeners played two sold out hometown shows at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl at the weekend, which saw them play live to 16,000 people over the two nights. Supports came from Miles Kane, The Strypes and James Skelly & The Intenders amongst others and Liam Fray followed the second night with a sold out acoustic performance at a packed out Manchester Academy 2.
