The Charlatans - Manchester UK 2007

This is The Charlatans live at the Apollo, Manchester, UK, back on the 11th December 2007. The Charlatans, The Cribs and The Courteeners were just some of the bands who played at Xfm's Winter Wonderland concert at the Manchester Apollo in aid of Shelter (a UK charity that supports the homeless and lobbies on housing issues).

The band played a number of high-profile supporting gigs in mid-2007, including for The Who and The Rolling Stones, at venues including Wembley Stadium and Twickenham Stadium in London, as well as the Bingley Music Live event, Nass festival 2007, and at Delamere Forest in Cheshire. A recording of Live At Delamere Forest was released as a download only via the official website in five parts for a limited time only.

In an October 2007 issue of the NME, the band contributed the song "Blank Heart, Blank Mind" to the magazine's free Love Music, Hate Racism compilation CD. Later the same month, the new single "You Cross My Path" was released as a free download exclusively through the XFM website. On the 3 March 2008, The Charlatans teamed up with Xfm again to become the first UK band to release an album completely free to download via a radio station ('You Cross My Path,' was the band's tenth studio album).

Some of the tracks on the XFM released album were performed within the Manchester gig. The links for the free album are still active HERE.
