Stereophonics trot out their greatest hits – and they were a smash

I have waited years for a chance to see a ‘best of’ Stereophonics gig, safe in the knowledge that it would probably never happen. Well, last night I realised that very ambition at the BIC, and had a bit of impressive support band, The Courteeners, thrown in for good measure.

I may be easily pleased but it’s hard not to be excited about a gig when you know you are going to enjoy every song, and enjoy them I did!

With the ‘Phonics’ taking a break from our radios and the limelight of late, it is easy to forget just how many big hits they’ve racked up in their ‘decade in the sun’, the apt title of their greatest hits album released earlier this year.
