Last week we saw The Stranglers,supported by The Alarm,somehow that was the first time I'd seen The Alarm.
Bustaspoke what did you think of The Alarms set ? The Alarm fans seem to be enjoying it and they say quite a lot of Stranglers fans are enjoying them!!

Good call on shellac scratch. I too am now looking forward to that. A couple of others first though starting with monster magnet's annual Camden gig tomorrow.
Elvis Costello, playing in Paris in May. Been seeing him live since the late '70's
Saw a young and very talented 19yr old lad playing in a bar tonight, happy days
Smiththemainman,The Alarm were great,I don't know if a lot of people were Alarm fans going specifically to see them,or if they were Stranglers fans who also like The Alarm but they went down well & Mike Peters was enjoying it.
This was in Liverpool last week so it's the nearest gig to home for them,maybe that's why so many Alarm fans were there?
Glad you enjoyed it Bustaspoke Mike is playing the Cavern club solo in May ,saw him there last year it was one of my favourite gigs ever!!
Ynot festival for us lot again this year. Beans on toast is back and the lad is quality. Obviously a fair few others within a cracking line up this year.
Hardfloor, banging beats in Peckham next month.

@tang: Would quite like to go see the Ozrics again... Was just listening to some old stuff the other day.

Placebo in December at Leeds
Richard Dawson was a "force of nature" on Sunday at the Trades. Unbelievable artist.
Gregory Porter, tonight, Perth.
Well, since my last post, there was an announcement a week or so ago from Lush that they would be playing a warm-up at Oslo in Hackney, for which I immediately grabbed a pair of tickets, and the gig was last night.
And it was bloody brilliant! First live gig in twenty years, Miki was bricking it on Sunday, apparently, but you could see them really getting into it as the evening went on.
Roll on the Roundhouse gig on May 7th!

Next one after that will be Television on June 6th in Bristol, Ladyhawke on June 10th at Thekla in Bristol, then another recent addition, Shawn Colvin and Steve Earle on June 15th at the Union Chapel, which should be a blinder.
Then Belly in July.
As an aside, there were a couple of women chatting to people at the bar in Oslo, who then came and sat next to me and my mate, one looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't place her. When she went to get drinks, her friend asked if we were there for Lush, and asked if we liked Curve and Echobelly, to which we replied absolutely! At which point the other woman came back and said, 'oh come on, you're not doing that again are you?'; turns out she was Debbie Smith, ex-bass player for Curve and Echobelly, both of whom we'd seen several times, so no wonder she looked familiar!
Hobnobbing with the stars! 😉
Two more booked - another Terrorvision, this time in Reading (Sub 89), August, and Metal Church (not my choice) in Camden, May 10th.
