Peloquin Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 With Ali back I might be interested. I don't suppose Henry and Dolphin are in the band as well... I'd love to see them with that line up, listening to Henry singing Gate 49. 2 hours ago, Nail Soup said: Foxton left to do From the Jam..... and original bass player Ali came back IIRC.

Lozz196 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Henry’s currently doing XSLF, with Jim Reilly (drummer on Nobody’s Heroes album) and Avi on bass. Current SLF drummer is Steve Grantley, been with them for over 20 years now, Ian McCallum completing the line up on rhythm guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I remembered yesterday getting a flyer in about November, and then forgetting all about it. Just checked out their current album "Shuffle and Go" on Spotify. Like that a lot. FC's website apologises that, due to Covid, they won't be joining the audience in the bar afterwards as usual. And asks that you bring cash if you want to buy the CD as there will be an Honesty Box on the merch stand! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them so many times before that, Cropredy about ten years in a row, plus other gigs. Did see Richard Thompson a couple of months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Never seen them. I don't consider myself a big folk fan, but I'm looking forward to Tuesday. If only because it's the first live gig in 30 months! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveXFR Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I've just been told I'm going to see Airborne. My dad is a fan, they're his favourite live band so he's got us tickets to see them when they're in town at the Cheese And Grain in Frome. It's pretty awesome to see such a big band at a small venue in a small town. It'll be at least the third time they've played there so I guess they like the venue. I've seen them before and they're an amazing live band, they really put everything in to their shows. I've seen a roadie wheeling the exhausted looking singer back to the bus on top of a flight case before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Next up is Rolo Tomassi and Pupil Slicer in London this month Then Cult Of Luna's Beyond The Redshift festival in March In September there's Akercocke and Cryptic Shift in Brighton In November it's off to Manchester for Damnation Festival Thinking about Incendiary in June and Lingua Ignota in October, but will have to see how things line up with my own gig schedule.

Rich Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Just got back from the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff after an evening with... James Blunt. Ok, you can point at me and laugh if you want, IDGAF He had a very able quartet backing him up comprising bass, drums, guitar and keys. All the band supplied BVs, so there some very lush 5 part vocal harmonies in places. Guitarist had a couple of Teles, bassist played a Stingray 5 with an unused spare on a stand next to him, and a bass synth on a couple of tunes. JB played either acoustic guitar or piano on every song, apart from 'Postcards' when he and the guitarist both got their ukes out (ooer). You know what? That was one of the best gigs I've seen in years. The whole band was faultless, Mr B writes a good song and can really sing, and his trademark self-depracating humour was well on show. I would quite happily go and watch it all again tomorrow. And I'd love to be in that band. However (there's always a however)... there was a problem with the sound which can basically be summed up as WHY THE FECK DOES THE FECKIN KICK DRUM HAVE TO BE SO FECKIN LOUD?? It was the loudest thing in the mix by a mile, and totally overwhelmed it at times. It's not the first gig I've been to that's been tainted by a ludicrously heavy kick either. Why? Grrr. Oh, and the support was a very talented chap called Gavin James. Super voice. Edited February 8, 2022 by Rich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
