Aye Ozrics are one of a very very few modern bands i could stand & watch, i went to see Gong at Sheffield Boardwalk in the back end of November 2000 they were still fantastic to watch..
Just booked to see the 'Robert Cray Band' at SUB89 a small venue in Reading, should be good:)

Some Blues and Rock tomorrow in sunny Ardrossan.
River Devils, Larry Miller and Oli Brown.
:guitar:
Just squeezed a pair of tickets for Norah Jones at the Festival Hall, 2nd June.
I saw The Robert Cray Band at the Manchester Apollo a good few moons ago, and it was a bit like attending a lecture - the playing & singing was perfect, but therein lies the problem - there was no spontaneity in the performance, nor was there any interaction with the audience worth mentioning.
I hope that they've they've outgrown their shyness :eyebrows:
I fear you may be right Chris. However as fan of the electric guitar, Robert Cray is somone I feel I should have seen but never have and as the gig was local and at a small venue I felt it was too good an oppurtunity to miss. At least I will be able to tick him off the list. The week after the Rober Cray gig I'm off to see Eric Johnson for the first time also:).
The Joanne Shaw Taylor sounds good but midweek trips up to the smoke can be a pain especially if I have to work the next day:( However I may yet still be tempted:eyebrows:

Going to see Leonard Cohen on Saturday with his 'Old Ideas' tour at Wembley Arena. Can't wait! Slightly miffed it has been moved from the Hop Farm but should be a great night none the less.
Saw him in Weybridge Mercedes Benz World at Brooklands a couple of years ago and it was a great show.
Genesis Re-Visited II toured by Steve Hackett in May 2013.

Tickets here: Music Glue - Tina Dico
It looks like the only show she is doing at the moment?
Thanks for the heads up Alex :kiss:
O god what id pay to go see someone live (instead of the other halves cack)
Hi Tim
tbh i wouldnt go see anyone these days if they paid me.
This is is what i dream of
Andr'e, I sympathise. My biggest ever regret concert-wise is never seeing ELP live.
There is a Wetherspoons across the road, but the Hen & Chicken is a more traditional London pub just a bit further away on the roundabout, or the Hope & Anchor, both better than JD W's but can get crowded on gig nights. There is a nice Thai restaurant on Upper Street too, but there's plenty to choose from.
I normally park in Kew Martin and get the Overground, but you can park nearby in the side streets, which I tend to do at the weekends. Parking at Kew is great for the M3 and saves driving through London. It is a pain location wise, but the venue is great, good sound and a very intimate atmosphere (but hard pews to sit on with no padding!). Some people take these: Church Kneeler Pew Prayer Cushion
Not sure from your end though Alex, probably easiest to park in Islington unless you know a place to go?
If you guys know all this already, then just ignore me ;)
I've just checked Kew out and it looks good for parking and the train. Our alternative is to take the train from Wokingham to Clapham Junction and then take the other branch of the Overground.
Great news, chaps, and I'm sure we'll co-ordinate our meeting beforehand for a meal and/or a drink.
Got me a ticket also :thumbsup:
Excellent! Should be a great night - will definitely arrange a meetup beforehand methinks. :)

Matracas new album 'Love's Truck Stop' is a corker (if you like that sort of thing!) and this promises to be a fantastic tour from the 48 yr old Nashville singer/songwriter.

Just bought tickets for Bryan Ferry at the Royal Albert Hall on November 4th 2013. Not many tickets left so hurry. There are dates for other venues around the country.
Richard Thompson is back late Feb'/early March next year - just bought a couple of second row tickets for his Brighton Show.
Here's the link http://www.richardthompson-music.com/Tour.asp
Saw him a few years ago and he was dazzling.

I'm very much wondering when we will see a series of artists releasing dates based around the Midlands instead of the centre of the multiverse (thats shuts down at 11pm) called London?
Anyways - I am about to travel down there twice again in February for the gigs at the Tate Modern - Kraftwerk.
Through a complete succession of lemony snicketts, after several hours on the telephone and getting more frustrated by the minute reading the rubbish being put out by Tate on the social media sites - I got through to a queue. Twenty minutes later saw me talking to a human. Not many tickets available so 2 of us were going to The Mix. Sent a text only to discover he had just got them for Autobahn..
While trying to make it difficult for Touts / Scalpers I see plenty going for really silly money on Viago / evilbay. Scum does not even begin to cover what those parasites are.
I know there are a few here that attend the Dorset End of the Road festival, so thought I would post this.
Just confirmed today are Sigur Rós and Belle & Sebastian (:spew:) as two headline acts. There are other acts confirmed, which you can check here;

Sigur Rós

Looking forward to Sigur Rós, but you can keep B&S, that will be an early night for me as I think they are . . . . . :rolleyes:
@ Alex,
Hi, as you may know I don't look in here very often, not being a gig attender, so apologies if it's been said before but wouldn't this thread be improved by being calendar based? Dates across the top and acts own the side in alphabetical order. Perhaps restrict mods to updating it based on info supplied by members. The calendar could update itself automatically datewise, dropping those acts with no future entries and when new entries were made they would automatically be placed in the correct alphabetical order.
Clicking on any act/date square would open up a new box giving gig venue ad other (supporting) acts etc.
Do we have any members capable of putting such a thing together?
Just a thought :) .
Dave.
And what should mods do with all of their spare time after they've done managing that then Dave?
Well speaking as a regular gig attendee and contributor to this thread, I think its fine as it is to be honest ;)
