Bletch has seven friends?
Seems unlikely.

I went to see Romesh Ranganathan least night. He was ok but it was probably one of the poorer comedy his Iāve seen. A bit disappointing.
Due to my reproductive capability I donāt get out much these days so I am inordinately excited about seeing Goldie perform Timeless at Ronnie Scottās in Feb.
Madness. Tonight. BIC. Fucking great.
My rock and roll week is over. Iāve spent 3 nights in 5 at the O2. I wonder if they think I am casing the joint.
Rhcp on Monday. The crowd were much more into it this time around (saw them there a few years ago and it was a bit flat).
Biffy Clyro on Thursday. It was pretty packed down in standing but we had a few seats spare around us which was nice. I enjoyed watching the mosh pit from afar. Excellent set and they just power through.
Richard Ashcroft last night. By this time I just needed some rest. Enjoyed it, a few Verve classics to sing along to. I needed a lay in and the bloody postman delivered a parcel at 7.30.
Next week off to see Frank Turner film Get Better with him doing a solo set and then Bowieās Lazarus followed by Chic the week after getting us ready for Christmas.

One of my favourite bands (The Maccabees) have decided to call it a day after 14 years. But not before one last big payoff.
I have bagged myself a couple of tickets for one of the Manchester gigs in June 2017.
It is a shame as I really thought their music was developing to the next level, but they all have solo projects they want to explore.
Shelfish bastards.
Itās a week since I went to St Maryās Church in Guildford (Sat 3rd Dec) to see a favourite band of mine, āSweet Billy Pilgrimā. Iād never managed to catch them live before and wasnāt disappointedā¦all in good voice and the church acoustics surprisingly good. I suppose it helped standing next to the guy with the sound mixing tabletā¦even asked him to bump up the treble a bit to compensate for my age related top-end hearing loss. 
This is the view I got standing next to the guy shooting the official video (not online yet)ā¦not my picture however.

Went to see Super Furry Animals last night. They performed Radiator and Fuzzy Logic back to back. It was brilliant. I then danced in a shitty pub for what seems like hours. Missed the last train home and stayed at a friends house, which only encouraged me to get more pissed.

insanely jealous.
Had tickets for wembley on Thursday, but itās really not the place to be when youāre still on crutches.
Mate thatās awful 
They tour often so ā¦
Went to see Chic featuring Niles Rodgers last night and the beautiful Hammersmith Apollo for a charity Autismrocks.
I was beyond tired so probably not ideal. Heās written quite a few hits hasnāt he. I felt quite young in the audience as those in their late teens early twenties when they were at their height made up most of the audience. I witnessed a new phenomenon 60 year olds with tablets recording the whole bloody thing.

ā¦and your point is? 
Donāt lie, Lifer. We know youāre older than 60.
Trueā¦but my point is what do you expect a 60 year old to record it onā¦Super 8?

Something a bit smaller! Just use your phone and not a bloody 10 inch tablet.
Saw The Cure at the SSE a few weeks ago - absolutely brilliant!
Also got tickets for Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks in Hyde Park for July
