Gig plans - 2024
Discussion
Going to the Britpop classical on 7th June which is (one member of) Republica, Ocean Colour Scene, the Las and someone else I can't remember) I agreed to go after a few drinks, I suspect it might be a bit rubbish.
Emilíana Torrini on the 20th of October. Again no idea what this will be like or even what the average person there will be like. I would describe her as a female Nick Drake, Fisherman's Woman is one of my favourite albums.
Both were because the tickets were not expensive and it's an evening out.

Just had a diary reminder pop up - Gazza Numan this Saturday at the Roundhouse
Never seen him live but I hear his crowd are quite enthusiastic!
he was excellent the last time I saw him a few years ago. Surprisingly loud and much more guitar heavy than i expected having been a Pleasure Principle fan in my teen years; but very enjoyable all the sameNever seen him live but I hear his crowd are quite enthusiastic!
........ yep, a very enthusiastic following

As we've already discussed Pendulum in Birmingham was an awesome gig - very loud, lots of bass and very enjoyable. Done;

I've treated myself to a Set list poster from it, which now has pride of place in my man cave - I'd recommend it.
H2O at Camden Underworld last night & Slamdunk (North) in Leeds on Sunday.
Hopefully should tick off a few bands that I've not seen before @ Slamdunk: LA Dispute, Honey Revenge, Bob Vylan, Asking Alexandra & State Champs; plus several that I've seen in the past: Snuff, Stick to Your Guns, Mad Caddies, Bouncing Souls, Pennywise, The Interrupters & H2O (again).

I must be getting old, I've not heard of any of those bands.

Off to Newcastle to see Eric Clapton tonight, then Bruce Springsteen at Sunderland in a couple of weeks.
Just to conclude - Clapton was brilliant, playing some of the best renditions of Cream stuff I've ever heard. There was hardly a dry eye in the arena after his acoustic 'Tears in Heaven'. Superb.I was completely underwhelmed by Springsteen; most of the time he was like a very average Karaoke singer at the local pub. We left early to escape the multi-storey.
Gary Numan last night in Bournemouth...came away disappointed to be honest. Seen him many many times over the last 25 years or so and he's usually brilliant but I came away thinking that's my last one.
The set should have been great (especially the Pleasure Principle element, not so keen on Replicas) but I honestly think he puts in a lot more effort when playing the newer stuff and just interspersing it with "classics". Vocals sounded pretty poor for him too, may have been the mix.
Lights are great though as are his band and the Pleasure Principle synth parts are still after all these years utterly sublime but didn't do it for me.
Maybe I've just been spoilt with some great gigs recently (Orbital, Leftfield and Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan) or maybe the atmosphere wasn't usual Numan..don't know.
