Kelly Joe Phelps

Mark Lanegan
Glenn Tilbrook
Zappa Plays Zappa
John Smith
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!

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.
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...)
I didn't know any of those things and I'm not sure I'm the better for knowing them now :eek:
He-heh!!
Mentioned this elsewhere

Ok, LONDON - you and me at Shepherd's Bush Empire November 29th next year!
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
I can do that most certainly, its the week after my birthday so you can buy me a pint :DQuote:

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!
I saw them do their own show in the summer Alex, absolutely brilliant, you will enjoy them a lot ;)Quote:

Just scored tickets for Elbow at the O2 academy in Newcastle on 31st March. This is a pretty small show for them these days.
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
A little bit for me Alex, but a talented lady for sure ;)Quote:

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.
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!
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.
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.Quote:

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

2 Kate Bush tickets winging there way to Skye.....yippee :D. now trying to organise trains plans and automobiles.
Marty :D
Peter Gabriel this December. I have my tickets for Wembley Arena, nice ones too in block A3.
YES are on Tour..
http://www.yesworld.com/
I saw Yes not so long ago at the Hammersmith Apollo. I doubt that I could persuade Ruth to see them again. She made a comment about all the sad men wearing jeans, t-shirts and leather jacket and then looked at me. I was one of them!
I would not go see them, totally refuse to go watch anyone these days, unless it's summert the wife wants to watch where as i have no option.
:rolleyes:
Just got a ticket for the Newcastle show in December, I'm ower the moonQuote:

Mastodon announced a few shows this upcoming fall, and October 17th marks a date in AZ; a few friends and I will definitely take this opportunity to see them. :D
They're touring the UK too. Got my ticket! Last time I saw them it was with Red Fang and Dillinger Escape Plan. It was amazingQuote:

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.
Mrs B just booked a couple of tickets for Northern Symphonia night at the movies, playing all the John Barry themes at my most favourite venue the Sage Gateshead.

Picked up a last minute ticket from a pal for Seasick Steve at the O2 academy in Newcastle tonight.
A nice surprise that was.
Just purchased a whole bunch of tickets for Steven Wilson at the Newcastle City Hall on 30th Jan.
Happy days, something to look forward to in the bleak midwinter.
I've just realised I have 4 tickets for Elvis Costello Detour gig at Birmingham Symphony Hall For Sunday night....nice surprise, I'd forgotten!
Tickets bought for King Crimson in Aylesbury Waterside Theatre and The Unthanks in the Theatre Royal Margate. Wahey.
"Down to Margate, you can keep the Costa Brava, I’m telling ya mate I’d rather have a day down Margate with all me family". Oi!
