I love his early work, Tim, but I think he's produced some utter shite, too. So he can do wrong in my eyes.

I'm with you Martin, his early stuff was superb but the later stuff was kinda rubbish really.. IMHO of course

Just bought tickets to see Prong, one of my favorite metal bands, in Haarlem Netherlands next March. For me, they remain one of the most innovative bands in the genre and I'm really looking forward to seeing them again after over 20 years.

The decision to go Dutch was a no brainer as it would take me longer to get to London or Glasgow and probably cost as much when a hotel is factored in.

Really looking forward to this one!

Blues fest thing coming up at the Albert hall. I am lucky, the mrs has got us some comps for Robert Plant, Chris Rea, Tedeschi trucks band, Gregory Porter and Natalie Cole+ some day stroller gigs and Q&A with Georgie Fame, World Party, Ben Pool etc......

Today I shall be spending the evening with 'The God of Hell Fire'!!
The ceiling in the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal is rather low, so I suspect he may be wearing his valve powered helmet, rather than the famous lighter fluid one!

Heads up Tina Dico fans - she has just announced via her Facebook page that she is adding London to her tour next year - date and venue yet to be announced, but should hear in the next few days - another AoS TD appreciation society evening out, anyone? :) (Let's hope it's Union Chapel again - what an awesome venue that is.)

MartinT

11-12-2013, 22:25

That was good, wasn't it Alex? Do keep us informed, I'd be happy to see her again.

Anything on the grapevine about Sia? I'd love to see her, too.

Alex_UK

11-12-2013, 23:08

Will do Martin - watch this space. :) I think Sia is probably too busy with her rise to pop-stardom and writing to tour... :( (As well as singing on David Guetta's Titanium She's just collaborated with Britney for her latest album... :eyebrows: Working with Eminem, Kei$ha, Jessie J Christina Aguilera - and did you realise she wrote both words and music for Diamonds by Rhianna - probably last year's best pop song...)

Such good memories from that hall!
Tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon. I'll post a link then.
I know it's many months away but I've got a great album to share with you before then.
So book your front row seats now and I'll see you there

Defo doing Paper Aeroplanes on Saturday 1st March - coincidentally I played all their albums/EPs yesterday, such a great bonus discovery from the Tina gig last year. :) JAPW I've never been blown away by - a revisit, perhaps, and as for The Toy Hearts...? Spotify here I come!

Well shit me britches, if it didn't finally happen!
I have missed every opportunity possible to see The Pixies so for one reason or another I never got to see this, one of my most loved bands. The closest I ever got was missing them by one day in Phoenix, Arizona.
This morning the planets finally came into alignment and I hoovered up some tickets for the gig in Manchester in July
Whoooooo-hooo!

I suspect far too M.O.R. for most of you, but Beverley Craven is touring later this year in support of her new album released in June. Bought a ticket for Ipswich in November, but might also do the opening night in Norwich 4th September. :) http://www.beverleycraven.com/#!tour/c1t44

28-03-2014, 10:00

Well, after 1/2 hour of frustrating attempts and re-attempts, despite having pushed the button dead on 09:30, there don't appear to be any Kate Bush tickets available.

Bollocks to it all.

Tim

28-03-2014, 11:50

I lost two transactions Martin, got two tickets (standing) confirmed, placed in a waiting room and then lost them when I was bumped back to the start page. I then managed to get 1 seated in the circle, got right through to payment verification and waited 10 minutes for the bank to verify and it timed out and I lost that ticket too! I guess the credit card servers were overloaded as well.

There were 6 of us, all trying to get 4 tickets each, two were successful (both on SeeTickets) so out of a maximum 24 that we wanted, we got 8. I just have to hope now that there is one left for me, once the two purchasers decide who gets what, hopefully I should be OK :popcorn:

Nearly 80,000 tickets sold in minutes, so she's still popular ;)

You can still get a hospitality ticket for £424.00!

MartinT

28-03-2014, 12:13

That website is the most f*cked up ticketing system, together with the BBC Proms one, that I've come across.

Surely some web designer is capable of designing a proper website with proper queuing that acts fairly and doesn't keep dumping you back at the start after jumping through all the hoops :steam::steam::steam:

As I said, bollocks to it all. I shall enjoy Goldfrapp all the more next week.

Tim

28-03-2014, 15:12

That website is the most f*cked up ticketing system, together with the BBC Proms one, that I've come across.
I think she should have made it a lottery like the Zeppelin tickets and with the same rules, then we wouldn't get all the rip off re-sales that are already popping up.

Luckily I have now got a seat, but there are a lot of disappointed fans today.

Tim

28-03-2014, 22:05

I just got mine, feeling quite pleased with myself to be honest, turns out they are VIP tickets :D

Just scored a couple of tickets for Transatlantic Sessions at the Sage Gateshead.

This has been a fixture in my music diary every year for the last 6 or 7 and I'm pleased not to be missing it.

http://www.sagegateshead.com/event/transatlantic-sessions32948/

Patty Griffin, Rodney Crowell, Sara Watkin, John Smith, Dirk Powell, Kathleen MacInnes, Tim O’Brien, Russ Barenberg
With the ultimate house band of Michael McGoldrick, John McCusker, Danny Thompson, John Doyle, James Mackintosh and Donald Shaw!

From the award-winning Pelicula/BBC TV series, the Transatlantic Sessions continue to revisit shared roots and forge new common ground between today’s finest Celtic and Americana musicians.

Fresh from the success of last year’s sold out tour are musical directors: fiddle maestro Aly Bain and dobro legend Jerry Douglas, with the ultimate house band who will accompany some very special guests.

Busy month John.

Was due to see Reeves and Mortimer, my favourite comedy act tomorrow night but they've cancelled while Bob Mortimer recovers from a heart op. Gutted about that one.

On the upside I've just bought 2 tickets for Prong in London on the 26th March next year. I've followed them since I was a teenager. Great live metal band.

I'm off to see Walter Trout tonight at the Picturedrome in Holmfirth, a lovely venue (especially when you're staying overnight in the hotel next door!)

It will be a full house and I would imagine a very emotional show as the last time I saw Walter at the same venue 2 years ago he was not a well man. With his liver packing up, he sat down most of the gig, and could barely play. I don't think there were many in that audience who expected to see him play again. Luckily a donor was found back home in the States last year and he battled through and appears to be in rude health again.

Here's to a great night of rocking blues.

Looking forward to listen to Steven Wilson in "DR Koncertsalen" in Copenhagen on the 5. February 2016.

"DR Koncertsalen" will hopefully do justice to Wilsons Music: Designed by Jean Nouvel (and Acoustic design by Yasuhisa Toyota) has made this Concert Hall (designed as a studio) the most expensive in the world: 1.4 Mia. taxpayed Danish kroners = app. 142 mio £. It better sound good...

Impressive looking hall that. Also seeing SW next week but at Newcastle City Hall which unfortunately has the acoustics of a 70s public swimming pool. Better than nothing I guess though, would love to see him in Hall 1 at the Sage Gateshead, for me the best sounding venue in Britain.

Hi Rick !

I hope SW at Newcastle City Hall will be great.

Thanks for the info on Sage Gateshead - it looks great with all the Wood.

I do occasionally travel to Concerts abroad (No-Man in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire 2012 is a special memory) and I would hate to travel to a concert just to have it spoiled because of bad acoustics.

If you come to Denmark then avoid concerts in "Parken" - the Acoustic feedback ruins everything.

Likewise Rob, I got tickets for Birmingham Symphony Hall for May - it's the last time he will play the beautiful Pet Sounds.
I will shed a tear I know.

Linked to this I would highly recommend the recent Brian Wilson biopic movie Love & Mercy (John Cusack, Paul Dano) it's a good-one. Acting is great and the scenes in the studio recording Pet Sounds and Smile are excellent. I think it's out on DVD.

A few gigs and little fests planned for this year already.

March - Steven Wilson at Sage Gateshead. 3rd time seeing him, always a fabulous show.

June - Roger Waters at Glasgow SSE (in association with Scottish Mafia)

July - Woodland Gathering Festival, Cumbria. Mostly leftfield elevtronic/noise/industrial stuff...headlined by Godflesh, my main reason for going.

July - The Cure at BST Hyde Park. Not normally a fan of the corporate day fest but with these, Slowdive, Ineterpol and Ride on the bill I had to get a ticket. About 25 of us going from the NE so a big Geordie day out in the smoke.

Sept - Lindisfarne festival. Small up and coming fest in Northumberland I've been to the last few years. Acts like Levellers, Ferocious Dog etc.

Plus more gigs for my own band and work lighting local bands than i can think of right now. Anyway, live music is what its all about ain't it.
