Yes Chris, I just ordered the vinyl as well.
They performed a mixture of the old and the new.
Sorry for the late reply.

The soundsystem was immaculate...liquid bass!!! ;)

The evening was a mutual friend's 50th b'day bash, he's a sound engineer himself so Mr Sherwood didn't let him down...he started at 11 and finished at 5, playing with various MCs and musicians, a real treat, everyone was dancing and smiling :)

2 Red stripes & 2 large rum & cokes £8!!! :cool:

Always a good live band IMHO, saw them a few times in their early years at Glastonbury, and managed to catch them in Leicester on their last tour, did they have the mini orchestra with them? :)

You've just reminded me that I need to order the new CD :cool:

Wow! Last gig I went to was Chris Bowsher & The Faction, supporting Dub The Earth at Bristol's Arc Bar, a few weeks ago. Chris was fantastic, but the sound system was bad; completely unsuited to dub, the bass was completely lost in a buzz that took the edge off a great performance.

I guess Adrian Sherwood is in the well deserved position of being able to dictate the sound system at his gigs. I'd have liked to see that show :)

Its very good , more low key than Seldom seen kid , but another excellent album :)

I went to see Chas and Dave's farewell tour at the Wolverhampton Wulfren Hall last week.... they were great!

They played a really long show, which started with them playing stuff from their early days which was quite countrified blues stuff, and ended in a right knees up, great atmosphere, great fun.

I went to see Blackfield in Manchester last night, and it was like this you see, just a bit

My Kebab on the way home was more exciting.
