The Marvellous Mechanical Band http://www.myspace.com/themarvellousmechanicalband will be making their debut live performance in about 90 minutes. It won't mean anything to anyone here but I am obliged to be there.
I just noticed that this thread has had 47,720 (better make that 721 now!) views! Is that a record on here? (closely followed by What's your favourite biscuit? :biggrin: No, just joking on that one.) The next gig I'm going to is the one I hope I don't pass any of my fluey cold on at...cough, cough, sneeze!
next gigs tomorrow night I'll be mainly seeing that Leonard Cohen at the 02 funplex then on Sunday, it's Joanna Newsom at Somerset House. It's unlikely that ear plugs will be needed for either gig
The next gig(s) I am going to (well, next that are non Harpic anyway) are Kings of Leon at Brixton and Model Morning near Liverpool Street- SAME NIGHT!:m9: Is this feasible? What's the shortest time do you think I can get from one t'other in around 9.30 at night? I so want to see MM again as I'm doing some work with them, but don't want to miss KOL either.:confused1:
hopefully not the NEXT gig....... Christy Moore at Liverpool Philharmonic in October. It'd be very sad if I didn't get to any other gigs before then though........!
I was at the Dunfie gig didn't cya there but hey it was a tad busy or maybe she was playing the posh bit o' Fife the night you saw her? Oh the next gig I will be going to is to see Nick in Tenby closely followed by Elza Carthy and others. Managed to get into a B&B next door (almost) to the two venues (both of which have beer), chuffed I am.
I'm off to see The Visitors this evening (supported Nick in Pompey last year). They are playing at the south coast's home of Rock and Roll - Fratton Park! the-visitors.co.uk
Sorry, didn't get a chance to speak. As soon as they finished a bunch of very loud, very young lads came on so it was time to beat a hasty retreat and prepare for Wembley tomorrow.
In the next 48 hours or just over, I shall be seeing The Twang twice and Kings of Leon twice.. Am very happy. Even tempted - very - to make it 3x and go to Staffs on Sunday! But that would be too silly, wouldn't it?...:auto:
Musical serendipity You obviously live the life of riley and get paid for it! A lot of us stuck in offices for years would be insanely jealous of your life style! Long may you run and continue to keep all things in moderation to preserve your longeavity! chrs andy :m3: :driving:
Ha! I wish I DID get paid for it. Most of the time it's for sheer unadulterated pleasure and either seeing friends or new artists I want to check out. Like the last 4 days: Kings of Leon, The Twang and then 2 days at V @ Chelmsford. Absolutely knackered now, wet and cold, but this weekend was THE best in ages. Never have I had so many artists I adore all on the same bill. I hadn't even registered that Newton was playing, and it was really nice to see him. Even managed a brief word with our Nick's mate Calv too!:wink:
is that Newton Faulkner? I've heard him a few times but never seen live. Sounds like V was good. I watched a bit of it on 4Music, but had to keep turning the sound down when Miquita Oliver appeared...she is so irritating!uke:
next gig the next gig for me will be on Sunday night : Martha Tilston at the Rose Theatre in Kingston upon Thames
