Gigs (not that one!)

[1964white]

Incidentally, Dan Eccles from Richmond Fontaine is also up there with the best.

Dan is excellent, Sara

[1964white]

Andy Powell has the best live guitar tone I've ever heard, and I'm a lifelong nerd for these things. His current foil, Mark Abrahams, is also very good.

Here he is talking about his relationship with the Flying V:

Totally agree, as I posted earlier, my favourite live guitar band.

Stop gloating mop top

Shut up baldy

[Sara]

Dan is excellent, Sara

He's interesting to watch live; Telecaster into a Vox AC30, using a volume pedal for tremolo. Great sound, and a very instinctive player.

Anyone going to this gig by The Hitchers in Leeds 7th October? It's the evening of the Bristol City home game.

'Strachan' by the Hitchers is my favourite LUFC-related song of all time. No, it's my favourite indie football-related song of all time. Plenty more excellent indie bangers too that I remember from their Peel sessions back in the day.

They're from Limerick and haven't played in Leeds since I saw them at The Duchess in about 2001.

Another bump for this brilliant band's upcoming Leeds gig. I'm told they've produced a new Gordon Strachan t-shirt especially.

Heading over to Leeds tomorrow for the Boxer Rebellion gig in The Brudenell Social Club then for the Bristol City game on Saturday. Great little venue for a gig near Headingly & cheap beer. Win win win.

I've noticed they seem to have some good names on there, Cussie

Me and the Mrs will be at the Brudenell for Ruts DC December 13th. Seen a few bands up there: The Dead Boys (2018) standss out

Yes, just been a couple of times but they seem to get some good names. Texas played in July & tickets were £18.99 & you got a 2 disc cd thrown in.

Got to say if it was £1.99 I probably wouldn't have bothered with Texas

I saw them, supporting Simple Minds in Cardiff Arms Park, before they knocked in down and developed the Millennium (Principality) Stadium in 1989 and they (Texas) were absolute ........one of the worst bands I've seen live.

Next one up for me is Shed Seven in a couple of weeks at The Tramshed, Cardiff

Have a good one Victor, let us all know how it goes. I prefer smaller gigs like that now done my share of going to overpriced, rip off, bigger venues/ artists. Tickets for tomorrow night were around £18 each.

[The Subhuman]

I've got Dark Horses next up at the Green Door in Brighton.... probably not to everyones taste but looking forward to it. Fingers crossed there are no issues with the car, it's due it's MOT a few days before hand and it's a fucker every year to get through

[CUSSIE01]

Boxer Rebellion were very good, mentioned before the Brudenell is a great small venue. Leeds match on Sat, Ireland stuffed Scotland in the rugby & all trains, planes & automobiles were on time all weekend. Cracking time.

[SG90]

Next gig Teenage Fanclub at the Brudenell Then Sergio Mendes at the Barbican and Big Star in Valencia

[Muppet the Cat]

Shed Seven at The Tramshed, Cardiff last night

A band who always deliver a really good show. Rick Witter always ensures a bit of inbetween song interaction with the crowd, as opposed to minimal chat and one song straight into the next.

Did the Vivaldi four seasons by candlelight at Ripon cathedral last night, absolutely brilliant, acoustics were amazing, the whole concert was just superb

[CUSSIE01]

The candlelight concerts have become a big thing now, went to see The Music of Hans Zimmer in St Anne’s Cathedal in Belfast last year & it was very good as well. No heat on so it was Baltic though.

[mentalcase]

Aye everyone was well wrapped up like, a hip flask was just the ticket as well
