Yeah I forgot Englebert, she liked him too. My dear lady wifeās claim to fame is she was at The Gaumont in '63 to see The Beatles, although she says she couldnāt hear a thing because of the screamingā¦not a dry seat in the house either. She also saw Tom Jones when he took the place of PJ Proby in the trouser splitting scandal.
Waiting for the train home after seeing Tony law. Absolutely bonkers and absolutely brilliant.
Went to Arcade Fire last night. We had really good seats with a great view of the stage in the round. Iām not a massive fan (shock horror) but enjoyed their show, thereās a lot going on. Their two special guest were Florence Welch (a live show I find quite dull) and Boy George. Enjoyed watching all the fans enjoying it all. I think thatās a result of years working in a venue and watching the crowd.
Well iām a big fan, just not of Wembley gigs. Saying that Iām seeing the Stones at St Maryās ā¦ It has to be their last one!
Iāve beeen to a few gigs at Wembley and know what you mean but I think they did well with it in the round.
Off to the Stones at Olympic Park. Iāve got some tickets for my parents to see them at St Marys. My mum didnāt want my dad to know the cost. It will be on the ticket.
Fooled ya! Pap will tell you tales of my teen bedroom walls with NKOTB and a lot of Take That. No way am I cool. Sadly.
I just donāt feel the way I do about Arcade Fire as quite a few people I know. Not sure what it is. Happy to listen to it, if itās on but wouldnāt necesarily think āoh need to listen to Arcade Fire nowā.
A few months ago, in the early hours I bought myself a ticket to an old fave of mine Ugly Kid Joe. I pretty much forgot about it. So here I am on my tod at Shepherd bush. See how much I remember. God I am tired.
Managed to blag a last minute ticket for The Streets tomorrow at Brixton. Bloody excited!
Just booked tickets to see kurt vile on the 9th Nov and teenage fanclub on the 10th Nov. Iām like a rock and roll star, going out on consecutive nights. Very pleased with myself.
This should quite rightly be applauded, you give us all hope.
Thank you gav. Itās not easy living the life of a rock star. I try to be an inspiration to as many as I can. Hopefully I wonāt shit the bed on the 11th Nov.
I will wait for an update on this before I try and emulate your crazy lifestyle.
2 nights in a row? Pah often do that. How about 4 nights in a row, in a few weeks at Frank Turner Lost Evenings festival. Iāve had to take 2 days off work to manage it.
Booked tickets for John Grant and hoping my partner will start listening to his stuff and come with me to the gig.
Off to see Frank tonight in Southampton - part of my continued Recovery.
Where is John Grant playing?
Brixton Academy on Tues 30th October. Played some of his stuff to my partner last night. Not sure heās into it.
You can take meā¦I like John Grant.
When you go to pick up your ticket to see Stereophonics this coming Friday and discover they have support actsā¦
A Rap Artisteā¦
Arggh.
So you go home and you tube and find out it is Plan B.
OK that should make me and Eric full cred innit
Oh and a local institution is also on the billā¦
We put up with him 'cos he used to sing OWTS for us at Barasti back when we used to win football matches.
Saw The Manics last night in Cardiff. Really good, first time Iāve seen them live and might be the last tour. Really smart setlist, they didnāt play muchof the new stuff
