Noah and the Whale have been left devastated after all of their equipment was stolen in Manchester.
The band were staying at the Manchester Park Inn hotel after performing a gig at the Club Academy in the city when thieves stole their trailer from a nearby NCP car park in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Singer Charlie Fink told the NME.com: "We just left the van with the trailer outside our hotel, and got up this morning and the trailer was gone. It literally had every single piece of our equipment in it."
