I didn't know Kirk Brandon was gigging the Pack again. I saw Theatre of Hate back in the day but I never saw the Pack; my brother saw them supporting the Ruts and I was quite envious. I'd love to see the Pack play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) A number of bands at the St Anne's on the Sea Music Festival on Monday, which was completely free (kudos to Fylde Council). A couple of chums were in some of the bands, including 'Christine McVie' from Fleetwood Bac. Edited August 28 by ezbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I went to see Pixies with my daughter last night. Support was a Dublin band called Sprints. I was a bit unsure at the start but they were really good and I'd recommend checking them out. Pixies were incredible! Best gig I've been to in a long time. The new bassist, Emma Richardson, did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertect Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Rickie Lee Jones at the Union Chapel in Islington last night. I've loved Rickie's music for over 40 years, but this was my first time seeing her live, and it was sublime. No bass player, but ably supported by Ben Rosenblum (who picked up the low end on occasion) and Mike Dillon on percussion and vibes.

SteveXFR Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Last night Welsh punks Pizza Tramp played our local. They weren't amazing. The opening act were absolutely brilliant though. They were a grindcore band from Bristol called Priest Crippler. They were brutally heavy and absolutely hilarious. It was part extreme metal, part standup comedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stub Mandrel Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 We braved the rain to see James Oliver last night. Loads of his banter, amazing what he gets away with. High point included him going out into the porch while playing. He greeted a smoker who apparently replied "eff off". He also whacked his 56 tele so hard against the mike stand the cable fell out... Had a good chat at the break about what it's like to gig with Norman Watt-Roy. 20240906_223725.mp4 Afterwards the roads were pretty floody... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyP Posted Sunday at 12:16 Share Posted Sunday at 12:16 I was at a local village hall on Saturday night to see the Haley Sisters from Yorkshire. I first met Jo-Ann and Becky in the early 90s when they were in their late teens but Becky has just become a grandmother! They have been a fixture on the British country music scene since they hit the road and provide close sibling harmonies with some good guitar work. Becky married Brian Smith who has played in Nashville and recorded and toured with Crystal Gayle. He is an amazing guitarist and adds a lot to the overall sound. Becky plays semi acoustic guitar and Jo-Ann the Hofner violin bass. I love Jo-Ann's playing as it is perfect for the songs they do and the harmonies they produce are so natural. Their sound system is also excellent and consists of a Yamaha powered mixer feeding a Bose tower set up with small woofer to handle the bass. The sound is clear and loud enough to not be uncomfortable. As I play their songs on my radio programme I was asked to compare the show before sitting back to enjoy the evening. To add to the event we enjoyed pie and peas before hand! The photos and video were taken on mobile phones and the stage lighting played havoc with the focussing but I hope they give some idea of how the evening went. They do have videos on their YouTube channel which will give you more of an idea of what they sound like and their song selection. received_531472272572035[1].mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
