Hotel and train tickets booked for my trip to London to see King Crimson at the Royal Albert Hall.

Fripp and the chaps are kindly playing on my Birthday!

We are Bikini Kill and we want revolution girl style now.

 

[Supernaut]

Just got tickets to see Light Asylum at Corsica Studios - the album is one of my favourite records of the last 30 years, so excited to finally see them live...

Saw Just in Blues a local Blues group in Saint-Chinian earlier.Well worth 8 euros of anyone's dosh.

On Monday I saw Bikini Kill play punk at Brixton Academy to an audience around 70% female and tonight I saw Stereolab play lift music at Shepherds Bush Empire to an audience around 80% male.
Stark difference.

The Rifles are back at Chinnerys

Saw Corinne Bailey-Rae in Barna last night.Not as good as her last gig here-9 years ago now.Probably because I'm not too crazy about her new Whispers album.

 

[Lost Mackem]

Will be going to one of The Libertines' gigs this year. Not sure which though as they're not doing a North East date. Glasgow was my first choice but it clashes with Gillingham away.

Probably not one for you @Lost Mackem, but one of my favourite bands of my youth, Lindisfarne, are performing at one of my favourite villages, Lavenham Suffolk, in November 2019. I'm figuring it would be very rude not to get tickets, and we can all look old and swing together.

Never heard of them so gave them a listen, not for me I'm afraid. Enjoy yourself though!

Fog on the Wear is like Southend Pier.

I'm undecided whether @Lost Mackem is tugging my chain or whether he's not old enough to have encountered Alan Hull & co.

Probably in denial due to Paul Gascoigne's cover of 'Fog on the Tyne'

It was pretty dire. Far better when Jimmy Nail gigged with them.

That's not even the best song to come out of Newcastle. Hope you enjoy this.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

I'm in my 60's and saw Lindisfarne (easily the best group to come out of Newcastle after the Animals,of course), twice back in the day.Once memorably at the Palace theatre (Westcliff) round about the time this was recorded:-

and also at Aston Uni, round about the same time.

My first memory of irony is seeing the logo on their label.

I'd imagine that had a lot to do with the hugely underestimated (not by me),Alan Hull. RIP.

Actually, you explained to me that it was a p!ss take - but I was only 11 at the time.
