🗣 Gigs

No you wouldn’t - you’d just stare blankly at the pictures until something shiny distracted you.

Also can I have Sue’s number (asking for a friend).

Yep she’s a honey…I’ll ask Vinny, her husband who was taking the picture. I think your friend might not be lucky. :lou_wink_2:

OK I shall give it a crack. It’ll have to wait til next week, off to Berlin on a stag as we speak - so this may be dependent on me coming back in one piece.

Got my tickets yesterday for Kasabian at the King Power stadium. It is going to a huge party that’s for sure!

I see that his wife has finally decided to leave him.

Oh! Gigs!!

This month, Richard Ashcroft at the Roundhouse, Dave Gorman for some laughs, and end with Common People in Southampton. Looking forward to seeing Duran Duran who I had posters of as a child (I was probably about 8 or 9 years old). Also going to the theatre! To see the Maids. Vod from Fresh Meat and Crazy eyes from Orange is the New Black along with Lady Edith from Downton are in the play. I probably should learn their real names.

Would love to see Duran Duran again. Loving them at the moment. Same for the other 2 you mention. Nice treble that!

Not sure what the Maids is, but will check it out!

Saw Lee Nelson, suited and booted at Dorchester Arts centre/corn exchange last Friday. The guy is such a quick wit. Most of the show was interaction with the small audience. A few predictable jokes thrown in, but most of it was fairly off the cuff stuff. Would definitely go see again as highly unlikely to see two shows the same using that format.

Off to see Maverick Sabre at The Engine Rooms on Saturday night :lou_lol:

Saw him at V Festival a few years back. Now work with his sister.

Not got any gigs planned for a while, though now have tickets for both Common People and 2000 Trees Festival.

Only interested in one act at Common People i.e. Public Enemy, but who can say no to a festival when it’s 10 minutes walk from your flat?

After-party at mine! :lou_lol:

Just back from Maverick Sabre at The Engine Rooms.

He was v. good. Just him and an acoustic guitarist.

At some point when I am more sober I will do a review comparing this with Sleaford Mods :lou_wink_2:

Richard Ashcroft at the Roundhouse last night was superb. Apart from a bloody pillar blocking my view for nearly all of the night. He did his old stuff, some new stuff and some Verve stuff. Definitely would go see again. His guitarist was fantastic.

Father John Misty this Friday.

So just to check. Would it be useful to have a comedy gig section? Do many others head to see comedians? I went to see Dave Gorman who showcased 4 other comedians who were all really good and thought maybe we could have a section to share some of our finds.

Thoughts - yay or nay?

How was it?

Went to see Maiden Scotland at the weekend. For a bunch of aging men, they were pretty good. Also played Powerslave, which is my favourite Maiden song!

Also the comedy gig thread is a really good suggestion. It is a scene I try and keep an eye on, but miss so much! Nothing like good live Comedy.

Always looking out for Dave Gorman!

A mate has managed to bag a pair of tickets for Radiohead @ the Roundhouse tonight.

Probably a terrible idea, but seeing as I am probably going to miss them next week I’m going to risk it.

'Kin excited!
