The popular five-piece headlined the Asda Be Live gig at Manchester's Academy 2 on Sunday, ably supported by The Days and Attic Lights.

In a new concept from the supermarket chain, music fans were only able to attend Sunday afternoon's concert by winning tickets and with only a couple of hundred up for grabs, those who were there could consider themselves very lucky.

First on the bill were up and coming Devon band The Days, who performed four tracks, including their forthcoming first single Evil Girls. Their as yet untitled debut album is due for release in 2009 and the band's catchy songs are bound to be a hit with fans.

Made up of brothers Luke and Dan Simpson, and school friends Tim Ayers and Harry Meads, The Days provide not only great lyrics but also great melodies.

They were followed by another new band who look likely to do well. Attic Lights are a five-piece group from Glasgow, who like The Feeling and The Days possess an incredible ability to write songs that people want to hear. Their first single Wendy, released on Monday, is set to be followed next week by their first album Friday Night Lights, which promises a superb collection of pop songs to brighten up the winter.

The Feeling are well known for writing great feel-good songs with rousing choruses and to see them live is a real interactive experience. With songs like I Thought it was Over, Sewn and Join With Us, you can't help but sing along and the band actively encourage their fans to take part, often creating a singing competition between their audiences during the final part of their song Never Be Lonely.

Having spent the summer out on the road where they supported American rockers Bon Jovi on their UK tour as well as making a host of live festival appearances, The Feeling are preparing for a big arena tour of their own and it was nice to see them back to basics and obviously enjoying themselves. As well as their hits with rousing choruses like Fill My Little World, The Feeling also threw a couple of cover versions into their set.

Their version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Give It Away was a brilliant, if not slightly surreal, way to end the show and made everybody smile, not least with surprise. Earlier on in the gig, the Bangles' Walk Like an Egyptian proved a hit when that too was given an airing.

The organisers of Asda Be Live put together a line-up of bands who perfectly complemented each other yet at the same time each brought something a little bit different to the gig. If they can carry on combining bands who work so well together, the concerts are sure to become a success.

Pure, unadulterated fun for a Sunday afternoon.
