gigs you're looking forward too?

am very excited to be seeing rush at the n.e.c in may (4th time seeing them).

but

am also very excited to be going to see roger waters doing the wall in august (thanks to my friend mark for inviting us to both gigs,and taking us to all the other ones too 😀

he reckons it could well be the last time he does it (and maybe a certain mr gilmour might make a guest apperance/hopefully 😀

even the thought of my back spasming (and me walking like john wayne) when i stand in one spot for any length of time cannot put me off.

shine on friends,shine on 😉

Primal scream at the albert hall should be a good one.
And glastonbury. 😀

Frightened Rabbit in Leeds in Feb should be pretty good.

Amon Tobin ISAM 2.0 in March.

Bigger, better, whizzier version of something that was jaw-droppingly good the first time round.

The Wildhearts in Nottingham in April.

Eels, Belfast – March

Bi-focals – SpecSavers
(I’ll get it in first)

Not got any gigs lined up at the moment but Boomtown Fair in August should be pretty awesome. Should be a gang of about 30 of us going for 3 days of silliness.

Joe Bonnamassa @ hammy odeon

Schenker @ shepherds bush

Temperance movement @ borderline

Lots of goodies about at the moment

Richard Thompson band, the Sage, 3 March.

Might go and see John Shuttleworth in Feb.

Johnny Marr at the Ritz in March. I’m pant-wettingly exited!!!

Clutch at the koko, camden in a couple of weeks

John Prine at the Barbican next month.

Killing Joke gathering later on in the year.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse.

I saw John Shuttleworth last month – very funny

I’ve got Calexico, Dutch Uncles and Caitlin Rose lined up for February

Need to book a few more for the rest of the year really!

D:A:D

Eels (Glasgow) and David Ford (Edinburgh), both in March.

Not a ‘gig’ as such but really looking forward to seeing Rich Hall at Crewe Lyceum in May, and possibly Andy Parsons the week after.

Lee Scratch Perry next month.. PUM PUM! 😀

I’m filling in for the lead guitarist in my old cover band this weekend as he’s broken his wrist, and I’m really looking forward to that 🙂 Haven’t played with them for about a year, it’s good to have the occasional gig with them.

Live hop-hop can be a notoriously fickle/poor-value experience… but I had to make an exception for [some of] the Pharcyde doing Bizarre Ride… at the Jazz Caff in Feb. Can’t believe it’s been nigh-on twenty years since that album came out… and she’s still passin’ me by. 😳

Besides, I needed an excuse to visit London.

Foals in March!!!

The Sword at the Underworld tomorrow
Clutch at the Koko (high 5 penac!)
Mike Watt in Brighton in February.

Also looking forwards to the Lee Scratch Perry gig, but will have a clean, straight head, as I’ll be driving, although I might try a bit of light dancing if that’s possible when one is stone cold sober 😕

Pere Ubu, Liverpool
Slash, Blackpool
Nigel Kennedy

2 rather indie gigs for me coming up –
Dinosaur Jr
& Joy Formidable
Not seen either before, so should be good. Rather disappointingly, not much else on the horizon.

Kraftwerk at the Tate Modern. 🙂
Spent most of the day hitting redial on the phone and when I finally got through they only had tickets for the Techno Pop show (ideally wanted tickets for The Mix) but hey, it’ll be a great gig.

Calexico, The Joy Formidable and Dinosaur Jr at the moment. More to follow, possibly ZZ Top, with luck.

Why the flaming bejeezus are you driving back Slugwash..? Could we not all chip in for a taxi or something..?

Could we not all chip in for a taxi or something..?

My house is twice the distance from Exeter as yours so my share of chipping in would probably come to £40. Dunno how many are coming from yours & the monkey households but I can probably give you all a lift in the old Zafira.

Biffy Clyro – Belfast at the end of march. Full weekend away was a gift from my wife at Christmas!

Gutted Clutch seems to be sold out everywhere, I really want to see them live again. They were awesome when I saw em supporting Thin Lizzy, better than them in fact I reckon.

Springsteen in June is the only one planned so far

One of my favourite live bands, I’ve seen them 3 times and each time they’re brilliant. Didn’t go to the Thin Lizzy tour because I refuse to pay £25 to watch a support slot!

There’ll be a tour later in the year when they come over for the festivals I reckon.

DezB hope you like the Joy Formidable!! Theyre one of my favs, and roxy is sooo lush 🙂

Savages in Feb. That’s it ATM

The Celebr8Prog festival in May. Some of my favourite bands. And a chance to meet up with some old friends.

looking forward to mumford and sons last gig. i won’t be going, however.

ha! 😆

Nick Cave, Montreal, March. Making a weekend of it, get a bit of skiing in, the like. Bring it on!

The Union at Manchester Academy next month, and also the Virginmarys. Seen both bands last year and can’t wait to see them again.

@ NedRapier, I hate you. Every single ISAM gig has been scheduled around me being off shore. Even the foreign ones (willing to travel to see it).
there was one date i could go too. London 23rd Feb. But that was moved to when i was off-shore. Typical.

@ noteeth, that sounds awesome.

I am going down to London in Feb to see Kid Koalas 12 bit blues on the Friday then a whole night of Tru Thoughts artists (Quantic, Belleruche, Anchorsong etc) on the Saturday night. Can’t wait.

Lower than Atlantis feb 4th at Plymouth. Can’t wait!

Also seeing Don Broco + Mallory Knox on the 23rd feb, mainly for Mallory Knox.
