He puts on such a good show, itâs a bit relentless as he just doesnât take a break. But love watching him.
Colleagues at work were shocked that I would see a band/singer 10 plus times.
Suede next week.

If you like a band there is not a limit to it.
Of course, Dub War were better.
Every Time I Die were pretty mental at The Talking Heads last night. Ended the gig with both footprints and blood upon my person, not to mention a very tender shoulder, a sizeable bump on the back of my head and a little mild concussion.
Epic.

Waiting for the Guns N Roses tour dates to come through any day now. I think I will have to get tickets for this one.
Saw them âback in the dayâ - they were fucking good.
Off to see Teeth of the Sea this week. Should be full on. New album is a monster.
Headed out to Roundhouse for some heighten security (sure itâs the first time Iâve been metal detectored going into a gig).
First half they played their new album with a film playing in the foreground. Quite haunting. Then a bit of a break and onto the hits. Over two hours too. Unfortunately a giant happened to stand in front of me.

Iâve had some trying moments in recent weeks. Deadlines. Scraping an alloy on a hire car. The death of a papmobile. In all cases, a happy little bubble floats up, pops, and says âyouâve got Glastonbury tickets, guvâ.
And all is good.
Closely followed by, and headling 2016 isâŚOlly Murs.
Troublemaker.
My street cred is so intact that I had to Google that joke to confirm my suspicions.
The Goat is obviously well into Murs.
Iâm extremely proud myself to announce I wouldnât recognise Olly Murs if he walked up to me, shook my hand and said, âHello Iâm Olly Mursâ
What is itâŚthat he actually does?
Throws pots in Britains Bakiest Village.
Annoys people? With his tedious music and âcheeky chappyâ presenting. I am getting to an age where some of the new music and people associatedwith it pass me by but unfortunately Olly just got in there before that happened.
Forgot to post it, but saw Richard Hawley at Roundhouse last week.
Really cracking show, was a bit disappointed with his latest album. Not that it was bad, I just wanted him to carry on with the more expansive sound of his last album, Standing at the Skyâs Edge.
Still, played all the songs I love him for, was on cracking form as usual and led an impeccably observed minutes silence (was remembrance Sunday).
Would recommend.
Went to a gig in Shepherds Bush Empire last night and got patted down by security.
I was enjoying the show (Brandon Flowers) when I heard arguing. Turned around to find a tiny Scottish woman and my partner arguing. He was saying he was standing with me. Turns out she had taken against him as he was tall. I feel for her I donât see much at concerts as i am short. But I have never taken her action which was to dig him in the ribs and be abusive. He wasnât even in front of her. A 6 foot blonde was in front if her! When I pointed that out to her she told me I should push the tall women out of the way. :-/ Kind of put a damper on night.
Iâd say i get this 7-8/10 I go to.
Yes, I am tallish (6"3). What am I meant to do? I tend to stand pretty near the back. I canât lop half my legs off. If you are small, and stood at the back I donât really think you can complain.
That said, Iâll always trade places with someone who is so small that Iâm clearly blocking their way (i can usually see straight over them anyway) if they ask nicely. As opposed to taking that action.
