Doves rolled out the hits last night (May 2) as their UK tour visited Blackburn.

The band, who recently released a ‘Best Of’ compilation called ‘The Places Between’, played a career-spanning set before a sold-out crowd at King George’s Hall.

Among the surprises on the evening were rare performances of B-sides ‘Push Me On’ and ‘Eleven Miles Out’, as well as recent single ‘Andalucía’ and another new track which features on the compilation, ‘Blue Water’.
