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.
