🗣 Gigs

Saw this again last night, at the Concorde. Blown away again by them, they modified the slightly Butlinesque patter between songs that they’d employed at Andover Lights, and the music came across superbly in the smaller more intimate club setting. It’s amazing how much sheer quality music Bacharach composed, and it still stands up today. Loved it.

Got my tech sorted but missed the only Gog I wanted to see today - Crowded House. Damn that was a moment a few years ago singing Weather with you in that field.
I expect Billy Elish will be awesome but work tomorrow says no

Seeing Crowded House at Hampton Court Palace tonight.

Shouldn’t they be playing in a two up, two down?

Love Phoebe…Stones are OK too. :lou_lol:

Roger Daltrey this evening, at P*rtsm**th Guildhall. Very good indeed, Steve Townshend on guitar (Pete’s brother,) and Steve’s son Ben on drums. Plus a stageful of assorted other musicians, really good show.

Saw this last night.

Decent enough show, but don’t rush to get tickets for tonight’s final Mayflower performance. It’s basically like We Will Rock You, a very weak storyline fabricated to hang the hits on. Not bad musically I suppose, but nowhere near as good as a reasonable tribute band. Quite enjoyed it, and we somehow ended up with the added bonus of really excellent seats, but it’s not one I’d wholeheartedly recommend.

Oye Santana last night at the Concorde. Really excellent, not to be missed if they come round again.

The Skids tonight, at the 1865.

Superb nostalgia, and they were terrific. Played all the stuff you’d expect, plus covers of God Save the Queen, Pretty Vacant and Complete Control. :+1::+1::+1:

Professionals, at Bedford Esquires. Slightly odd evening, they were good but the sound wasn’t right. They got such an apathetic response that they didn’t bother with the encore, so no Join The Professionals.
