Was sorely tempted with PSB at the Roundhouse but am already going a few times elsewhere so will re-consider. Supposed to be a decent venue too.

another shout out for The Roundhouse; great venue that I'm always keen to visit. Seen some excellent gigs there.

It is a great venue and I’ve seen some great gigs there, though you need to be early (or forceful) enough to take position inside the ring of columns. There is a rooftop terrace bar that’s open for summer events and a few others dotted around, so getting a drink isn’t usually a chore.

For fans of old school pubs with decent beer, there’s a great pre-gig boozer called Tapping the Admiral about 5 minutes walk away too.

This was pre-show from The Wedding Present a few years back I think. See what I mean about the pillars?!

Roundhouse is a cracking venue, seats upstairs and standing downstairs, wherever you are it feels like an intimate gig.

...and if by magic Faithless at Roundhouse in June booked!

Speaking of drinking at venues, these were the beer taps at the Pioneer Club St Albans last Friday.

I do like an Orchard Pig.

Contrast to O2 places where it's 7 quid for a can of mankey warm cider.

The Cult seem to know how to take my money, as I'd already booked for Bristol and the Albert Hall shows - then they added the Roundhouse.

There's a very 80's/90's theme to the other gigs on my list for the year with multiple PWEI, and The Mission gigs as well as L7, Janes Addiction, Adam Ant and Utah Saints

Just found out the support act for the Manics @ Trentham Gardens in July is Public Service Broadcasting rather than Suede.

Never heard any of their stuff but see they appear highly rated - what's worth a listen before the gig?

Was gonna be going to see Magnum for the first time ever this year, but then Tony Clarkin blimmin' well went and blimmin' well died.



So long, Tony. And thanks for all the music. Legend.

PSB supported my favourite band The Manics at Wembley Arena in 2021 and I fell in love with them that night. Have seen them three more times since then in Bath, Oxford & Bournemouth and have got tickets to see them in Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds & Manchester on their autumn tour of the UK and Europe.

To say their music is niche would be an understatement but it's superb stuff. Only four or five albums so far but maybe listen to some tunes from each album to get a drift on how they are.
