What gig did you go to last night?

[Jenkins]

Nothing for a few months, then three on consecutive days...

Sunday - Jesca Hoop at Norwich Epic Studios - she was good but there was something missing - don't know if it was the disappointingly small audience or the venue (a TV large studio with a curtain used as a partition).
Monday - Jesca Hoop (again) at Cambridge's Portland Arms - almost didn't go after Sunday, but I'm loath to waste tickets that have been paid for. However, this was so much better - a decent sized and enthusiastic crowd and a 'proper' venue seemed to feed back into the performance.
Tuesday - back to Norwich, this time the Arts Centre for Haley Bonar which was brilliant.

Now another break for a few months before the double header of The Selecter and The Beat at Norwich UEA.

Last night, The Who at Sheffield Arena. Much better than I expected. Two hours of all the best stuff and they did Tommy in its entirety. I've spent the whole day with Baba O'Reilly going through my brain. Nice.

Giovanni Sollima with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta. Absolutely gobsmackingly brilliant. The orchestra was called back for four encores.

Jesca Hoop ... she was good but there was something missing

I think that about her albums. Troughs of critical acclaim but there's no emotional grit.

Anyway, she's an honorary Mancunian so there's always hope

Saw Maximo Park in Kingston last night.It was a really good night,they played for just over an hour and every song was really good.

Ive just been to see Cast play an in-store gig at Banquet Records for Record Store Day.It was really good seeing them close up as they were one of my fav bands of the 90s.

Just got home from Think Floyd at my local (and very good) theatre.
I've seen a lot of Floyd tributes, from the biggies (Aussie one) down, but this is the first time I've seen this one.
Astonishingly good, running through the entire range of PF albums in chronological order in 2 & 3/4 hrs to celebrate 50 years since the first hit.
Do try to catch them, they're out and about now - I believe they're playing the Waterside theatre in Aylesbury in a week or two.

A bit late because I was having a weeks holiday from the internet, but we had another night with Leicester's greatest band The Della Grants again last saturday.

Great night at Farncombe with one of the best singers you've probably never heard of.

Damn right!

I went to the Buxton Festival some time in the mid-70s and it rained all day. Then Family came on and still it rained and rained. And it rained and rained until Roger Chapman started singing "Well I know that you're lonely, come in from the cold", and the clouds parted ...
