I have got tickets for The Lovely Eggs &

The Breeders both in Manchester. I just hope a Saints game doesn’t clash with TLE as i think id have to give it a miss. The Breeders are fine as that is midweek.

Only done one so far this year which was Evil Blizzard at the Kanteena in Lancaster.

As of last week yy employment is now guaranteed until the end of the year so I will now be keeping an eye out on who is touring.

So far only seen Dead Men Walking this year, but have a few lined up starting with SLF next week. In summer, I've got North West Calling, Green Day, Mayhem @ Mick's and Rebellion then Morecambe Punk Festival in November. Like to try and get at least one per month, so need to sort a few out

One of my favourite bands, never seen them live. Kinda impressive that I reckon the best 'rock' track of last few years was released by some sixty-something women. Hoping to go to the Leeds gig, but there's a good chance I won't be in the UK that week.

Was supposed to see Irish fiddle/accordion player Sharon Shannon in Masham last month, but she cancelled due to illness. Was supposed to see Urban Folk Quartet over in Swaledale last week, but they cancelled due to illness, their banjo player Dan Walsh did a very good solo gig instead. English folk band Leveret up next for me.

Piece Hall in Halifax has a bit of an all-star line-up this year?

Local psych-rockers Futumche supported by post-punkers Long Good Fridays on Saturday.

Not many there as the gig clashed with a couple of others that split the audience. It's great having so much going on in Coventry now but a shame that there aren't quite enough punters coming out to fill the venues when there are fixture clashes.

Then The Esther Bennett Quartet on Tuesday.

A great singer influenced by Sarah Vaughan although she struggled with the tiny PA. Also far too many bass solos.

Jesus, never heard of any of the above artists in the previous posts.

Never really been interested in music unless it was on TOTP or Radio 1 as a young lad.  But here is a group that I doubt few of you have heard of ….. Tycho Brahe.  Went to see them last week as they supported the Human League on their Aussie tour.

Wife’s cousin knows the band members of Tycho Brahe very well and they stayed at his house in Adelaide for a few days to save money on hotel expenses.

A few booked for me this year. Quite mor really in the main though. In date order (so far)

Miles Hunt

The Killers

Embrace/Ash/Cud/Sleeper/OCS

Noel Gallagher

Shed Seven

Lack of gigs at the Piece Hall this year, in part due to the artists and in part due to the ridiculous ticket prices.

Some fantastic open-air acts on at the Piece Hall in Halfax this summer.

think our musical tastes must be vastly different as I dont see any fantastic acts on that list - maybe placebo at a push

That's not a bad list at all, is it?

Off to see The Stranglers / Buzzcocks on 3/8.

Would have like to have done the Saturday of the Stone Valley Festival North on 10/8 but some of the group I go with cant make it.

similar to going to see the beatles with just ringo starr, abba with just benny  or culture club with just jon moss - bands with just one original member (ok ringos not actually an original member) - takes the shine off it for me- its a tribute act with one original member doing covers of the original trade name

I do get where you are coming from although when watching bands that started back in the late seventies and early eighties it is no surprise.

There are sadly people who are no longer with us, and some just not up to touring.

The initial idea was to find where the Buzzcocks were playing, so they were the primary band. The 2 options we found were to see them supporting The Stranglers, or see them at SVF 24 North. As 2 out of 4 couldn't make the SVF then we opted for going to the Piece Hall, a venue I haven't been to before.

I did see the Stranglers at Leeds O2 in 2019(?)... they were okay, but they were never my favourite band back in the day.

Went to see SLF in Leeds 2 weeks ago, which was an excellent gig as usual, and are going to see The Damned in December.

Just need to find some more gigs that I fancy.
