Forthcoming gigs.


Saw Clive Langer tonight launching his new album, 1981 was the year of his last one iirc. If you don’t know him then you’ll know his production work: Dexys, Madness, Costello, Aztec Camera, China Crisis etc. I think there were possibly half a dozen in the audience who were younger than me. Andy Mackay (Roxy Music) got up and did some sax on Shipbuilding which I’ll freely admit I wasn’t aware he’d wrote the music too.
Langers original mid 70s band Deaf School included: Ian Broudie ( Lightning Seeds, Three Lions), Bill Drummond (KLF, former Bunnymen and Teardrop Explodes manager) and Betty Bright (Mrs Suggs). The feller with the lip injections (Dead Or Alive) was a roadie at one point iirc.
I think like Dr Feelgood, Sharks, Kilburn and The High Roads and a few others they were cut off at the knee by the punk explosion and things were nivver tha same for them
 
Went to see Squid at Northumbria SU tonight for my first one of the year, very good. Better than I expected. Pint of Black Heart now just 10p short of £7 in there like, not ideal.

Got tickets for Futureheads, bdrmm, Pete Doherty, Pulp, Father John Misty, Kendrick & SZA, Fontaines DC, Black Country New Road and Lambrini Girls for later this year so far. Try and hopefully beat last year's record of 26 shows.
 
Thought squid were class, better than last time I saw them at boilershop, drinking black heart mesell, was very nice mind.i switch off when it comes to beer prices, pay it and enjoy the night.
 
I saw Squid twice in a week pre C19 and couldn’t get away with em. A midweek Rough Trade East album launch iirc that we went to see the support band Yowl. Then at an outdoor weekend festival in Gunnersbury Park ower Ealing/Chiswick way at which Fontaines DC and The Murder Capital were the standouts for me of a very sunny day prior to the hell to come.

First exposure to Lottery Winners last night. Quite entertaining tbh. Not sure on first listen if the music is my thing, but enjoyed them enough to give it a go

You never know what you are going to get with Thom and that is a big part of the live performance for me. Letter to Myself is a fantastic song.
I’m seeing them in Liverpool on Friday night and Bury at the start of April.

That’s the one that’s kind of spoken word talking to his 12-yr-old self? Good message to it if that’s it. Enjoyable. Very much the same content as Black Tie by Grace Petrie - not so much the gender angle but the yes it’s tough now but everything’s gonna work out

@chriswallace85 How did you and your Dad enjoy Uriah Heep on Saturday night??

Was good mate aye. Paid for it yesterday mind... few too many back at The Central after. :lol:

Didn't catch Tyketto but we enjoyed April Wine's set.

I thought Heep coulda been a little louder, especially Mick's guitar early doors, but I sorta put that down to the venue. I thought Bernie was great.
 
Fish City Hall
Phil Campbell playing Motorhead @ The Grove
Saxon @ City Hall later in November.

All but sacked of the big venue gigs now. AC/DC / Iron Maiden playing this year but cant be arsed with travelling, over £100 a ticket and rip off Food n drink.
