Yak playing the Night And Day in Manchester (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Coinciding with the release of a new single, Yak began their latest UK tour in Brighton earlier this month.
Live4ever’s Gary Mather was in the pit when the band reached Manchester last Saturday night for our gallery.
The single is led by Yak’s cover of Dixie Nightingales’ All I Need Is Some Sunshine In My Life – “A loved one departed and on the way out sent me this song, so we ended up recording a delirious version in the blistering heat of Perth,” frontman Oli Burslem said.

“I love the original Dixie Nightingales’ version, it reminds me of songs like Wendy Rene’s ‘After Laughter’, which I imagined was recorded in the same studio with maybe even the same people playing.”
Yak play London’s Village Underground tonight and then end the tour at the Tunbridge Wells Forum on October 18th.
