I have just been to see Van der Graaf Generator. Took a bit of getting used to being in a mass gathering again but it was a good evening. I was sat behind Stewart Lee!

We ended up getting last minute tickets. Now there's a band right on top of their game. Cracking night.
Did anyone go to the Self Esteem gig at the Wylam Brewery, on Sunday ?
Had never been to the building before, which looked great with the lighting and swans on the lake.
Think they/she will be playing much larger venues very soon, as the audience went loopy when she (apologies, do not know the singer's name) appeared and many people knew all the words to the songs.
Although the singer had an excellent voice and the dancing was effective, I thought it was a bit too choreographed and a little souless.
Never saw Madonna, but I would imagine this is the type of show she woukd have performed when she started off...

No, but seen the Rifles there a few times. Good venue, great drink, pain in the arse to get to, especially in the dark

I thought taking back Sunday were better.
Matt Skiba came out dressed like Rick from the young ones.

I went and thought it and she was brilliant. The harmonies of the three backing singers at times were stunning. I'd love to see her at a festival at around 6pm on a sunny afternoon.
I thought it was far from soulless and would recommend anyone to go and see her. She made the Wylam (my least favourite venue) a wonderful place to be for an hour.
What’s your issue with Wylam? Mentioned in my post the geography is a twat, but the performance space & drink is great. Sound has been good so far from memory

Stage too low and the view is poor if you don't get near front and aren't tall. I'm fine (not especially tall) but missus will just see people's backs.
Sound had been poor in the past but it was fine Sunday.
I have just had a few rubbish gigs there. It is the closest venue to my home. The bar and building is brilliant when gigs aren't on.

I think she's class like. They clearly love what they are doing together and it transmits in their performance.

Get off jesmond metro and nice 10 mins walk through the park?

I wasn't sure how her performance was going to be. I thought it could have been very good or very bad. I thought it was glorious.
I think she may be mad as a box of frogs but she is magnificent.
