Gigs (not that one!)

[mentalcase]

I went to see an AC/DC tribute band last year, very good, but best tribute band I've ever seen was Led Zep, awesome.

[Finnatic]

The Cure at Leeds but missed the twilight sad support which annoyed me.
from the jam at Holmfirth
Big country at Leeds
I wanted to see the Levellers but covid got in the way.
love the Picturedrome at Holmfirth but never been able to book a room and make a night of it so no beer

Saw The Twilight Sad at the Love Apple in Bradford back in 2007 or 2008.
Pretty good just slightly too loud for that venue.

Rock the Moor Cookham (May)

OMD
Boomtown Rats
Kim Wilde
Soul 2 Soul
The Farm
Space
Roland Gift
T'pau
Hue & Cry
Blancmange
Dr & the Medics

Surprisingly good, especially those in bold.

Edit: could have been 2006 as I can’t find the set list on setlist.fm

In the last year:

Stereophonics (Principality Stadium, Cardiff)
Black Sabbitch (The Globe, Cardiff) - terrific US, all female Sabbath tribute band.....great evening
Alcest (The Marble Factory , at Motion, Bristol) - French and pigeon-holed as post-black metal/blackgaze...I really like these. Were on as support to Cradle of Filth, who I didn't bother hanging around to see tbh.
Spear of Destiny (The Globe)
Esprit D'Air (The Globe) - British-Japanese alt metal band
James (St. David's Hall) - orchestral tour.......really good and SDH is a top venue, acoustically one of the best imo
Big Country (SoD in support) (Cardiff Uni SU) 40 yrs of The Crossing tour........a nice trip down memory lane
Sting (Cardiff Castle) .....never saw The Police so thought we'd go. Nice venue, would have a bit cr*p this month though what with the seeming continual rain.
Dope Lemon (Tramshed, Cardiff) - disappointing one

Next up is Allah-las (The Marble Factory) at the beginning of September and then Alcest are on again (also Bristol at SWX) in October, I think....haven't sorted a ticket yet.

Of all the above I reckon the best evening was Black Sabbitch........a cracking evening for £15/16 quid !

[White Riot]

Did he do One Week? That's always a challenging song to sing. I have learned it but doesn't make it any easier

I don't think he did Faaip, cos I love that song and would have remembered it. That song would be tricky for anyone to pull off.

His version of Hallelujah at Jack Layton's state funeral is absolutely brilliant and very heartbreaking. Layton was one of the very few decent politicians.

Saw The Wonder Stuff in Northampton last Friday.

VOAL

They are always popping up on my Spotify moody mix love the broad Scottish accent .

Simon Hough fits big country better than when mike peters had a go ,going to see them in bradford in feb if not before.

That was my main memory, his accent.

Just bought 2 tickets to see Dark Horses in Brighton, probably only use one tbf but 11 quid each

That's excellent.

[BradWhite]

Any good?

Yeah all great in particular The Ocean (Collective) who are amazing Berlin based band, seen them twice in under a year and I'll be going to see them again in Nov at the new venue in Leeds on Armley Road called Project House run by the people at Brudendell S.C.

The Cult were decent, seen them many times before, short set though - 80mins.

Which one? there are loads
Whole lotta Led were the best I saw closely followed by Fred Zeppelin

The album that's off is a masterwork in songwriting imo ...

Ledz Zep
Even Robert Plant said " watching them was like watching ourselves live"

I've noticed sets getting shorter with some bands recently - 1hr 30 not being uncommon.

Cradle of Filth are great!

Does a Jane McDonald 'gig' count?

Does a Jane McDonald 'gig' count?

Of course, if it's a musical performance and you enjoyed it.
