After a year of working 142 shows with (namedrop alert) Warpaint, Mayday Parade, Midlake, Hermitage Green, The Jezabels, Rocksound, Bombay Bicycle club, Radkey, Architects, Transatlantic, Banks, Stiff Little Fingers, Deaf Havana, James Walsh (not that one), Sick Puppy, Brody Dalle, Marmozets, Cirque De Soleil, The Eagles, Richie Sambora, Stevie Wonder, Wet Wet Wet, Beach Boys, Jessie J, Tom Jones, Boyzone, Peter Andre, Liam Finn, First Aid Kit, Manchester Orchestra, Dirty Youth, The Common Linnets, Johnny Marr, The Hold Steady, Motörhead, La Roux, the levellers, John Cooper Clark, Rag and Bone Man, Basement Jaxx, Chris Rea, Justin Timberlake, Paolo Nutini, Kodaline, Nile Rogers, Bastille, M People, I decided to pay to go to a gig. Saw the cure on Sunday night at Hammersmith apollo and they were fantastic. It was amazing. 3 hours + and they played in amongst it all the entirety of The Top album some of which they hadn't played since 1984. If a gig is ever worth £50 this was 40 songs on the night. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-cure/2014/eventim-apollo-london-england-63cd0e8f.htmlI wish I could have gone for the other 2 nights as well. Damn, how did I not know they were playing. I've seen them 8 times, and that looks like one of the best set lists of all, and I missed it.. |

On another issue, the company have just released details of a couple of nice tours for anyone over the age of 40. Morrisey doing a 6 date arena tour in May and Prodigy doing a tour in May as well. OAP dance off in the offing for me and a few others I should think. Both doing the motorpoint in Cardiff and Bournemouth. Moz on sale on Friday, Prodge Wednesday. Details at www.gigsandtours.com/latestevents |

He's fine really. He's decreed that life today is simply taking and not giving....

My band are playing at the vic tonight, doors open at 8PM. We're on first, supporting Sleep Inertia (used to be Dead Lay Waiting if anyone knows the Swindon metal scene at all well!)
Come on down if you've got nothing better to do!

I was going to but it looks like I'll have to work tonight instead. Plus you play that shouty metal stuff which I can't stand.
