Love & Money in glamorous Bury next month; Sisters of Mercy in London in November, then Love & Money again in Glasgow in December. Aiming for at least a gig a month this year, so still a couple of gaps to fill.

Rammstein at MEN in March. Other than that, nowt so far.

friendly fires and bombay bicycle club at the apollo manc.

Love & Money? What that old 80s nearly-ran pop band? Blimey.

Hoping to see Dirty Dancing The Show at the Bristol Hippodrome 😳

I’ve got nowt on til scratch perverts in november… which is nice

Justin Sullivan/Dean White in Oct.

Arcade Fire at Edinburgh Castle next month and Arctic Monkeys at the SECC in November…looking forward to both a lot…

Dez – Yep, that’s them. They re-formed for a one-off Celtic Connections gig in January this year, and got such an overwhelming reception that they’re doing a small tour. They were great, actually, so “ner” 😉

nonk – Member
2wheelz enjoy the national mate i saw them at latitude and was fairly blown away by how good they are

Cheers.
They were amazing.
First time seeing them. Been a fan for a while.
I’d definately see them again.

Enter Shikari and The Cat Empire in October.. my first gigs in years!

Tempted to book Terrorvision and Reef gigs too.. just for old time’s sake! 😀

Sisters of Mercy in 2 weeks- until last week when the buggers cancelled their down under tour due to lousy Ozzie ticket sales. Maybe Portishead in November……

The Unthanks at St Georges, Bristol, Tori Amos at the Royal Albert Hall, and several possibles, Magazine at the Komedia, Bath, Sons And Daughters, Bristol, Mechanical Bride at the Komedia, Bath, still to be confirmed, and Gemma Hayes, autumn tour dates yet to be confirmed. The Arcade Fire gig that fatmax is going to will be a blinder, saw them in Hyde Park a couple of months ago and they were outstanding.

Arcade Fire & PJ Harvey next month. Plastikman december 😈

Electric Boys
Mr Big
Rammstein

at the moment

At the moment:

This month – Interpol (tonight) and Reading festival
Next month – PJ harvey and Peter Doherty
October – British Sea Power
November – Arctic Monkeys

Nine Below Zero, Blakeney Harbour Rooms ……. 16th Sept, I think!

Want to see Jane’s Addiction at Leeds, but £80 quid for a day ticket is a bit steep. Might still do it though, new songs sound ace.

Lemonheads in December in Newcastle.

Steve Earle in November in Manc.

my band is playing in a local (southend) pub tonight…

other than that steve cropper next week, steve cropper end sept and the specials in october…
