Off to see Opera South East's take on The Elixir of Love (they're doing it in English) this evening. They're a fun mix of ancient volunteers still with good voices and young would-be professionals just starting out - and basically no one in the middle.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. (Terry Pratchett)

Just got back from watching Blondie at Halifax Piece Hall. Soaked but really happy.

Debbie Harry's voice has dropped an octave but she's still got the voice  and personality to rule the show. The band was ultra tight and they are no tribute act.

 

For those about to rock . . .

Clem Burke; we salute you!

Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins last night at Coop live. I was there for the former but stayed throughout: not a fan of such huge indoor venues but you have to go where the bands choose to perform. I enjoyed Weezer, Pumpkins less so, both were just song after song with little interaction however, which felt a bit disappointing. Nature of the beast I guess to some extent when you have a co-headlined gig, which means long sets from both acts.

I hate them - arenas are so soulless - the Leeds one is like a giant asda- but your not gonna get Springsteen playing at the Brudenell  (not the real one anyway)

Miles Hunt acoustic set tonight at Todmorden Unitarian Church, a Grade 1 listed building that was declared redundant in the late 80s. Apparently the first gig of any size they've hosted; good luck to them as a cracking venue and great night out.

Just got home from the Manics and Suede at the Llangollen International Eistedfodd, an excellent night that I'm going to get to repeat in Cardiff and Manchester the next two Fridays.

It was my 26th time seeing the Manics, who were great as always and played quite a changed set from the last tour, but it was my first time seeing Suede and I was very impressed. Brett Anderson is some frontman, didn't miss a note even when he was down in the crowd and was drenched through by the end of the set. 

Added to that, I even got recognised by someone for my own musical endeavours! That's always fun 🙂

This Friday 25th October we’re playing at The Bridge, Briggate, Brighouse.

Recently taken over, spruced up and starting live music on Friday evenings.

Called in tonight to do a recce and the locals were interested and enthusiastic about it.

Told them “we’re not a quiet band” which seemed to enthuse them more.

As ever, let’s see some of you ‘orrible lot there. 8:30 onwards.

I went and watched The Lovely Eggs at the Arts Club in Liverpool Friday the 18th. It was a fantastic night but it flew by so quickly. 
I am tempted to go and watch “Porridge Radio” at Rough Trade in Liverpool on the 12th Nov. The only thing is i have got work the day after, so that’ll probably put me off.

The Wonderstuff is the only gig I've ever left before the end and I've been a regular concert attender since 1985.

We lasted about 20 minutes because everything about it was awful. Maybe the next night they were great and the problem was the sound engineers, but I doubt it. I think they were just kicking the backside out of their old music without any love for it.

Seen em a fair few times since the 90s, and never felt that. May be perception, and everyone is entitled to a view.

Just enjoying pre-fig drinks before I watch The Snuts in Glasgow. 

Seen them before and found them bland, but in Scotland I'm more hopeful!
