Paul Bearer 6,109 Posted March 12, 2017 Went to see "Us The Duo" in Manchester. Not quite my taste, but pretty good. Had meet and greet V.I.P tickets. Pretty much down to earth, really nice people. V.I.P ticket autographed and a free 5 song CD. Crowd of about 200 people made it a bit more intimate. They were brilliant with their fans, new and old. They're in stereo Glasgow on Sunday (tonight) night. Might be worth going to see YW & MSC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,067 Posted March 12, 2017 Thanks for the thought, PB, but OldWillz makes a fine Sunday Dinner of an evening and as he makes an effort for me which he doesn't have to do, my Sundays are unavailable (unless it's the afternoon, or 10 at night of course). I question sometimes whether I'm a bit old for that sort of thing these days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,155 Posted March 15, 2017 The Stranglers, absolutely brilliant gig again. I'm not a dedicated fan, just a "greatest hits" sort, but they have so many terrific tunes in their huge back catalogue that every time brings different delights. Not to be missed. Next gig - John Otway 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted March 18, 2017 Saw Russell Howard last night at the Genting Arena in Birmingham. Very funny. Now I've been to many a gig at that venue, mostly rock bands, I've seen people pissed up, passed out, rough as fuck, venue trashed, but I've never seen anyone kicked out for fist fighting - until last night. At a RUSSELL HOWARD show. Most amusing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,155 Posted March 18, 2017 Saw John Otway last night at a small venue near home. John is proud to be known as "Rock & Roll's Greatest Failure". Do catch one of his gigs if he passes your way, you will have a good laugh and hear some decent music too as he has a really good tight band. He is bonkers, mind. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen him over the years - even the Voice of Young Maryport has seen him a couple of times. Incidentally, speaking of notable eccentrics - I see the Happy Mondays have a national tour coming at the back end of the year.

The good news is that these attacks are very rare, so highly unlikely for another one to happen so soon. But yeah I'd be worried if I was going to a gig soon.

msc 18,480 Posted May 23, 2017 Iron Maiden? Fantastic. Enjoy that. Speaking as someone who lived through a (very low-key) attack* once, these things can happen anywhere and everywhere, and if you stop to worry about it you can go mad. *So low-key, in fact, that the references to it on the BBC and other websites appear to have been deleted, which surprises.

It failed to go off, so he set a neighbours flat on fire (with them inside), shot others. Tried to break into ours with gun, and a few other flats. Armed police response, plus shitloads of fire trucks. Small contretemps with police then ended when he shot himself. Best bit? Next day, checked on next door neighbour, as quite old and frail. Had slept through the entire thing, including parts of the tenement block being on fire! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's amazing what some people can sleep through. Yet I get woken up by the feintest chatting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
