Lwiii Loudon @ Anvil Basingstoke 26th May. Let's give him a big welcome from donut city! http://www.anvilarts.org.uk/performance/thu/loudon-wainwright-iii?t=1301482356 A
The next gig I'm going to is.... Finally, after about 8 years of waiting, Alexi Murdoch is coming to London. Playing the Borderline tonight and I am very excited! What with Nick at the Cellars on Friday, this could be quite a week.
Next up on my agenda: the amazing Record Store Day line up at Rough Trade with Jamie Woon, Wild Beasts and Chilly Gonzales; then The Dears; then to Paris for Chapel Club and then back to London for two nights later - more Chapel Club!:biggrin:
And I didn't do the first things above in the end! But went to see Metronomy and Ghostpoet instead, ha! Metronomy have little personal light gadgets on their chests - which may have been the highlight of my night. But I am on track for the rest of my list. Plus, if anyone wants to blow Easter Sunday and be my +1 at the Barfly, Camden for Chapel Club, Tripwires, Flashguns - hit me up, as the kids say.
Gordon Giltrap Gordon Giltrap playing within 500 yards from my house tonight! Bet tickets are sold out? http://www.ents24.com/web/event/Gui...-Queen-Marys-College-Basingstoke-2366662.html Andi
Noah and the Whale Tonight I am going to see NatW at Roundhouse. Wasn't as impressed with album 3 as I was #2 (the homage to Marling).
I saw Noah and his whale at KOKO the other month, Pete - wasn't that enamoured, have to say, but have had some good reviews :closedeyes: Saw Anna Calvi and Grouplove in Cambridge on Saturday. Not that taken with the former (despite the curernt hype about her) but loved Grouplove This week is, bar tomorrow night at Hoxton for The Lines, for me all Chapel Club (sorry, ha! that's the way it rolls with me): Wednesday at The Shacklewell Arms in Dalston, and then 3 nights at Brixton opening for Suede. :m3:
Lwiii Loudon Wainwright III to night at the Anvil Basingstoke! Wonder if he's here already in some local hotel down drinking at the bar? :biggrin: Andi
Not strictly my next gig - should be a pit stop this week for Exit Calm and The Twang, but all very up in the air given my current health woes and 2 hospital visits this weekend! :angry: - but at 3am next Sunday *should* be preparing to leave in the morning for Manc and the start of the 8 date Chapel Club tour! Yeehah! So been looking forward to, and with support from the mega good Clock Opera and Other Lives (at SBE), plus 2 sets per show from Chapel...should be an amazing tour. So if you're by Manc - Edinburgh - Sunderland - York - Portsmouth - Brighton - Oxford - London come and stop by! ;-) Here's a little taster. Track, new, but won't be on next album http://t.co/g91iOibV and you can free download here, if you like! http://t.co/ptMWMfd5
in search of space On Saturday night (10th Dec), it's Hawkwind @ Shepherds Bush Empire. That gig is bookended by top Hawkwind tribute/covers combo Hoaxwind in Irish pub tribute/covers bar O'Neils (they'll be on at 7:45 & 10:45) - and absolutely free.
The Unthanks tomorrow night. I saw them earlier in the year doing their own stuff but they are doing the songs of Robert Wyatt and Anthony & The Johnsons (sp?) on this tour. I haven't bought the album yet so I'm looking forward to a set, most of which will be unfamiliar to me.
Saw Fish last night in York. Next Wednesday, Saw Doctors in Sheffield and next Saturday the Levellers in Sheffield.
Me three! But at Brixton with Ms E. Rose :biggrin: But before I get to them, there are Smith + Burrows, We Are Augustines, more Clock Opera, the Club AC30 party gig with Exit Calm, and The Correspondents!!! Phew...
Not strictly a 'next gig', but anyone planning to go to Honeyfest and check out Dry The River, you can also catch them in London on the 23rd of this month at XOYO at the Q Sessions......just *luckily* the very wonderful Clock Opera open for them too!!! And hear the Clocks here. I know some of you have done already :wink: This is the new brill vid for the single release at end of month of Once And For All. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B3ubR0BU4w
next gig(s) Will be seeing the Deviants @ The Borderline on Friday night then that Nick Harper @ the Half Moon on Saturday. No sleep till Putney :cheers2:
I'm off to see Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham tonight, The Australian Pink Floyd on Friday and the Waterboys on Sunday .... no energy to see Nick in the middle ... especially as I'm doing an anti-HS2 walk on Sunday too !!
