Leeds Wire Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Best of luck Phil. Looking forward to live music coming back. I think the Wedding Present are touring in 2022 so it doesn't qualify for this thread, but the legend David Gedge just turned 60 which made me feel a bit weird.

The Wedding Present are one of my all time favourite bands, last time i saw them was December 2019 i think. I know they’re playing at the Ritz manchester later this year(if it hasn’t been cancelled). They’re a band i never get bored of listening to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to frequent a club called Ritz in the 1980's. It can't be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonM Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Band I play in had only one gig booked for this year, in September. Got cancelled today (well, postponed to June next year). The feller's whose party it was reckons it's not going to be a good idea to have a mixed age group dancing indoors in September. Unfortunately, I think he's probably done the right thing.

I was very fortunate that “a mate of a mate”, knew Nigel Blackwell, so i gave him all my cd sleeves, and some vinyl LP sleeves, and a HMHB gig poster(i didn’t want to push my luck too much) to my mate. He then got them all signed, although my gig poster came back a bit battered but i wasn’t going to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Deaf Institute - Manchester, “Ritz - Manchester”, “Liverpool Arts Club” “Liverpool Academy” are the type of venues i’ll only go to. I don’t see the point in paying to see someone in a huge venue and you’re just looking at a dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single “Suzanne” they did is a brilliant record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the nickname of Alan Preece, Hunslet centre from the late 50’s early 60’s. He was a hard, direct running player, probably why the fans called him Moose.

Josef K Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I’m sorry this isn’t a gig but i didn’t know were to put it, but for the millions of Half Man Half Biscuit fan’s out there………Ok for the handful of HMHB fans out there, they are on Andy Kershaw’s latest podcast “Andy Kershaw Play’s Some Bloody Great Record’s”. They chatted in AK kitchen and they played a few tunes, it’s well worth a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Sunday clashes with Hunslet v Coventry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
