Sam Fender

[Harry Angstrom]

There's lots of up and coming acts that do the academy that you wouldn't see at the city hall yet. The Lathums were great at the academy

There aren't any coming up. I've seen a few great gigs there.

Patti Smith, Streets, Fontaines DC. Wu Tang and loads of others.

The academy absolutely reeks and the sound is awful

Great when you are pissed.

I’m sorry to hear that and I hope your partner is ok.

I went to Coldplay at the SOL about 10 years ago and I found the mosh pit on the pitch very stressful, so I moved away and I sat in the stand instead.

Sadly events like these attracts the scummiest people in society, who have got no respect for anyone.

Coldplay had a moshpit? What the frig did they mosh to?

 

[Mallard]

Not so much a comparison, but you can obviously hear he’s a massive Springsteen fan from his songs.

That I don’t dispute. I think he is meh, he is alright, he won’t have the longevity and I wish he would stop doing covers of Springsteen.

Yellow.

It’s cause he’s a bell end. Gone to watch Sam Fender and randomly thinks of making a comment about Sunderland. His tweet doesn’t even make sense. Of course the best option would be to ignore it but that’s never going to happen is it.

It’s so small time and absolutely pandering to the nayshun.

Yip, tweet didn't make sense at all. Probably had a couple of bacardi breezers and fancied some attention and thought he was being funny. Dont think he has had anyone with his comment as it just didn't make sense.

 

[Mallard]

Oh, and there was giant Newcastle flags waved about in the crowd like it was St James Park. We went to watch and listen to music not a f***ing football match.

I don’t think this is as controversial as Twitter would have you believe. Many years ago I saw Marr and N.Gallagher in Manchester and before and during the break people were singing Danny Collins songs and it annoyed me abit but had blue moon been going on through the set and the flags game out it would annoy me more.

I honestly don’t see the difference between a gig and a play, if in some weird world Jimmy Nail was playing Hamlet at a theatre in Newcastle it wouldn’t be acceptable to wave flags and shout toon toon between monologues.

 

[Hendonite]

I’m a little old for those. I love music though. Neil Young, Jackson Browne and Springsteen were early influences and I believe Fender has a similar power to his writing. Those who consider him ‘dull’ probably content themselves with supermarket wallpaper music.

Power to Sam fenders writing? Think your getting a bit carried away there mate.

Bound to be someone on here who has seen Jimmy Nails Hamlet

I wouldn't go to see Hamlet after being out in town for 6 or 7 hours mind.

You’ve not heard the lyrics to howden aldi death queue?

 

[Hendonite]

By morons.

Think he only gets compared to Springsteen as he has hired a twat to play saxophone. I probably wouldn't dislike Sam Fender as much as I do if he didn't have that knacker and his saxophone.

You’ve not heard the lyrics to howden aldi death queue?

no thank god.

Me and millions of others marra. He's a huge talent and the one of the most lyrically and melodically interesting British artists for many years (and I've been steeped in music since the 60's).

I can see why you think like you do. He definitely has something that connects with people.
