QUICK thinking was the order of the day for Appleton band The Black Circles after a Manchester venue cancelled their performance.

Trio Sam Bratley, Martin Saunders and Josh Winter were set to play at The Blue Cat on Saturday but were forced to reschedule.

Thankfully, fans still got to see the blues rock band in action after it was arranged that they would perform an exclusive acoustic set at 9 Gallon, on Sankey Street.
