Gig Plans - 2018
Discussion
My son's currently on his way to Preston from mid-sussex for that gig. I'd be with him but I had already bought tickets to see TRB doing Power in the Darkness in Brighton tonight. Will be catching up with The Wildhearts at Koko in December, and Ginger et al for the Birthday Bash at the Garage.

How did he find the Wildhearts, I saw ginger couldn't sing, then ended up not playing either!vixen1700 said:
A mate got tickets for The Damned next month at Shepherd's Bush Empire.
Haven't seen them in years, and the first time was 1981!
Blimey. The last time I saw them was at their tenth birthday party in Finsbury Park in 1986. Though the highlight of the weekend was probably Hawkwind!Haven't seen them in years, and the first time was 1981!

So. Much. Regret.
I may as well have gone to see a tribute band.
The only two bands from my youth I still go and see regularly are one who I never managed to see live back then (A Certain Ratio), so there's no live vibe to compare to, and another who didn't really appeal to me at all back then, but are now a truly immense live act (The Human League). Such a good night out - helped, I guess, by all the lyrics being indelibly imprinted in my memory.

James + The Charlatans - Wembley Arena on 7th December.
Not seen them live before, so looking forward to it.
Also going to a much smaller gig at The Monarch, Camden on Nov 13th.
Headline is The Soapgirls, but initial reason for going is to support Angerland as a friend is the bass player.
Angerland recently changed their name from F**kshovel in which guise they did release an album.

David Byrne at the 02 29th October. Really looking forward to it, long time David Byrne and Talking Heads fan.
Saw his show earlier in the year and it was one of the best gigs I've eve seen; visually brilliant. Not sure how it will translate to the 02 but you do have the benefit of the screens which I didn't at Oxford.search for the running order as there is a bit of the new album as well as quite a few classics. If I wasn't going on holiday that day I'd be there too.
In the past week I've seen
Jorja Smith - Birmingham 02 - the next Mrs Westberks!
Dermott Kennedy - Oxford 02 - he has a great voice
Tom Grennan - 02 Southampton
Maribu State - 02 Oxford
This week I have
Sinead Harnett - KOKO the next next Mrs Westberks if things don't work out with Jorja
and then
Raphael Saadique (ex Toni, Tony Tone lead singer) Indigo 02
Rudimental - Ally Pally
then onto November!

this week I've seen:
ash (@ the garage glasgow)- 5/10 maybe 6. was alright, their older stuff is way better, sounded good, nice small venue. decent crowd (slightly older maybe 30-40 average age). mrs loved them, thought it was brilliant, i thought it was just average.
Tom odell (@ the usher hall edinburgh)- 8/10 maybe even a 9. absolutely brilliant gig, great on the piano great vocals. I only knew about 4/5 of his songs, didnt really know what to expect. but absolutely loved the gig. and first time in the usher hall for a standing gig, great venue, its a theatre with removable seats for gigs, nice little slope/ incline meaning great views from all the standing area.
