1st gig in ages, brilliant night, recommended if you get the chance.

[VLC86]

Bought a Friday ticket for download for BMTH and Architects.

[Daggers]

Just bought a pair of tickets for The Who. Kinda one of those ‘I haven’t seen them and I ought to before Daltry and Townsend are dead’ things. Means I have to go to Derby. This could be a world of shit.

[SK3Blue]

Billy Bragg at Rock City in December.

Johnny Marr at Roadmender

I remember seeing footage from the who in the 90's and wasnt impressed, but i ended up seeing them a few years ago and they were amazing.  I was astonished on how good Daltrys voice was, townsend was brilliant too.....sounded much better than the 90's footage I saw.

Not a fan by any stretch, it’s just one of those tick box things. The wife’ll enjoy it mind.

Got Slam Dunk North and Glastonbury in the next two months

[Bordersfox]

Slightly unusual gig last night.  Went to see Show of Hands, Kirsty Merryn and Michael Wood (historian). It was about the tradition of English and British protest songs, starting with the peasants revolt through to Peterloo, Suffragette movement etc through to today.  

 

Very well put together between the music and the talk, atmospheric and surprisingly uplifting.  Merryn has the voice of an angel.  Some interesting comparatives with current issues surrounding freedom to protest as well.  

 

Great gig.  

[Costello]

Saw Jake Bugg the other week at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival - forgot how good he was/is.

His first album was just so good, anything that followed just seemed to be a little flat in comparison.

Didn't really like the 1st LP, loved the 2nd one though, saw him live a few years back.

[Voll Blau]

Bought my missus tickets to Scooter at Cardiff Bay this September for her birthday.

 

No idea what to expect.

[filbertway]

Slam Dunk on Sunday! Will be watching Kid in glass houses/Less than Jake as our relegation is confirmed! It's gonna be emotional

[Stuntman_Mike]

Really enjoyed Motley Crue and Def Leppard on Monday at Bramall Lane.

 

The crowd wasn't the best though. Not sure if that's just a typical modern gig these days with people on phones and not going for it.

[foxfanazer]

Feeder are playing at a free festival thats  put on in King's Lynn yearly. Quite a pull for them as previous years have been Will Young and McBusted

[The boy Linacre]

My daughter is going to see the Arctic Monkeys next Weds in Cov @ the Ricoh.
