Mika surprise wows crowds
28/ 6/2007
POP sensation Mika surprised music lovers with a surprise gig in Manchester last night.
The Lebanese singer – who topped the charts earlier this year with single Grace Kelly - played a free open air gig at the Great Northern Warehouse centre.
Around 300 people attended the secret gig after receiving a text invite from mobile phone firm Vodaphone.
The high-pitched singer and his band performed a short set on a specially erected stage, which included his new single Big Girls.
Audience members were asked to wear fancy dress for the gig.
The event coincided with the launch of the Manchester International Festival, which will see dozens of new shows and performances staged over the next 18-days.
One of the highlights of the festival will be the premiere of Monkey: Journey To The West, composed by Damon Albarn
