With spear of destiny I think.

Well that was an odd one. Never seen the City Hall so poorly attended. The seated stalls in front of the mixing desk looked quite well populated. Behind it, very sparse. The balcony was closed and therefore empty.

I enjoyed Martin McAloon but it left me realising how good the songs were and how much I'd love to see Prefab Sprout return, although the chances of that are minute. However in light of the Kane Gang, you never know. Some of the songs didn't work for me on solo guitar, see Faron Young, but that's to be expected. He still seems to be a decent chap.

I'm not really familiar with Thomas Dolby outside of his best known songs and a few hours of spotify over the last week or so. He is never going to be a visual spectacle with just himself on stage. I thought the efforts at projecting visuals onto a relatively small cinema type screem were amateurish. Some songs there was nothing. A missed trick in my opinion and it would have improved the experience. I felt it was politely well received until Hyperactive/She Blinded Me With Science which ended the main set and prompted some dancing. I enjoyed the enthusisam of a couple dancing in the left hand side of the stalls (looking towards the stage).

Not sure how he thinks £30 for his novel is a reasonable price point. The Prefab Sprout vinyl at £35 seemed overpriced too.

Saw Paddy Mc in Tesco the other day, can't see him playing with sprout again.

PJ Harvey at the Piece Hall in Halifax day before yesterday. She and the band were excellent but why do we bother with any outside stuff in the UK? It pissed down surprisingly.

It’s a class venue, Halifax is surprisingly canny, and you’re a lucky bugger with the weather. LCD tomorrow in that there London - it’ll be a long day if it pisses down.

I’m gutted about New Order and The Charlatans tonight. It was outside in Cardiff bay and I thought it’d be ok as the rain looked to be holding off but got cancelled this morning due to high winds! I’m destined never to see NO. Last time I had tix for them it was cancelled due to lockdown and I couldn’t make the rescheduled date.

I’ll see the Charlatans again.
 
Leeds festival tomorrow night for Liam Gallagher DM30 gig

Hopefully getting booked up for The Enemy in October at City Hall and Kasabian at O2 or Co-op Arena in Manchester

Saw them at Sunderland Mayfair in (checks date) 1984! They came on late and were well miserable, as I recall. Short set too.
