It was bloody great though, wasn’t it? We were in the seats on the right as you looked at the stage. First time I had been there since James in 1999.

Charlatans let down a bit by bad sound. Although, Ever Fallen in Love wqas a great tribute to the late Mr Shelley.

James were just fucking majestic.

I was on the left hand side. yeah I thought the sound was a bit off for the Charlatans which is a shame as really love their stuff.  
James were great but I think we got spoilt seeing them headline Camp Bestival and its quite small there. This was my 3rd time I’ve seen them. I wish I had seen them back in the day.

Just back from Wedgewood Rooms where we saw Mercury Rev celebrating 20 years since releasing Deserters Songs, with a stripped down, semi-accoustic set.

First time I’d seen them for 15 years or so and it was quite a change from the usual full-on, over the top sets they do.

Went out on Monday to see Keuning at Dingwalls. First time I’ve been there. Very small venue in Camden. Keuning was (is) the guitarist for the Killers. I’d heard snippets of his new work but thought I’d take the opportunity to see him in such a small venue. It wasn’t sold out which was great for those who did make the effort.  
I am not very good at reviewing so think this sums it up best - [https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/music/dave-keuning-review-london-dingwalls-a4013991.html](https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/music/dave-keuning-review-london-dingwalls-a4013991.html)

He was very kooky and it was nice to see him in a different light.

I wanted to go to one of these but haven’t got my arse into gear to go.

I saw Frank Turner on Sunday at Ally Pally. Once again a fabulous non stop singalong show.

Lucky you. Jealous!

Sean McGowan should have all the ingredients for me to love him but something stops me from fully committing.

Seen him many times (as I’m sure you have too) supporting Frank Turner and other Xtra Mile artists but something leaves me feeling a bit distant.

James at The Guildhall. Approx. 27th time of seen them.

Well at least I saw the final 55 mins, due to the drunken fuckwits I drove to Cheltenham, going missing after the last race and then requiring I dropped one of their guests off at his hotel somewhere in darkest Gloucestershire.

Cunts!

Went to Africa Express: the circus last night.  
Amazing musicians and a secret appearance of Blur. All in my home borough.
