Leeds Wire Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Best of luck with your gigs, Phil. Live music is the best music. Got tickets to see the Wedding Present in Leeds in April and trying to work out how to get to watch the brilliant Susto in London in May. No other gigs planned but need to get to more...

timtum Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I'm off to see She Drew the Gun in Oxford at the beginning of March. I'm then booked in for the National in Manchester in July. Hoping there is seating available otherwise I'm going to have to take my shooting stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun mc Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Off down south to see Fairport Convention on Saturday at a small-ish venue. Never really been into their music until a few weeks ago. Any good live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob8 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I saw The Dubliners a couple of weeks ago. The missus is fond of them. It was a little mediocre, a massive venue as opposed to the more intimate gigs in Malmö.

Dave T Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I went to one day of the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow over the weekend, and despite feeling twice my real age due to the 18 year olds (aye right) and the clothes they were wearing (their underwear, covered by bright coloured netting) I absolutely loved it. As well as a few random bands I hadn't heard of, I watched Gerry Cinnamon for the 2nd time this year, who was outstanding in his home gig, and then Stormsy - I had never considered watching him live until I saw his Glasto set on TV and it was outstanding watching him live. Years and Years also played a great, happy singalong set. A festival crowd in Glasgow are probably the craziest crowd you will find anywhere. I also found myself taking it much more leisurely due to my recently diagnosed condition (other thread) and I enjoyed sitting in the sun, taking it easy, people watching and listening to great music. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 South Wilts Grammar School for Girls chamber choir, A Cappella, in which I am lucky enough to be a second tenor, will be the visiting choir at Salisbury Cathedral singing choral evensong this Thursday. The music is as follows: responses - Smith of Durham; psalm 33 to two chants by Atkins; Magnificat & Nunc Dimittis - Stanford in C; and anthem - Evening Hymn by Henry Balfour Gardiner Being an act of worship, rather than a concert, there is no admission charge. It is at 5.30pm and lasts about 45 minutes. Come along if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
