KevB Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Just picked up a ticket for a couple of female fronted prog bands in Leicester on Monday. Like both bands most recent albums and well done to artists, promoter and venue for keeping it down to £11 per ticket. So I'm looking forward to seeing The Dame and The Far Meadows. Quote
Paul S Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Shakatak at Maritime Room, Cliff's Pavilion, Westcliff on Weds night. They are still amazing! Quote
Lozz196 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Stiff Little Fingers, with support from The Professionals & The Adverts at The Roundhouse on Sat 28 March. Going to be a strange experience, I’ve spent the last 6 years gigging with many of my fave bands so going to a gig as a punter, and actually paying will all seem rather odd. 1 1 Quote
Doctor J Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Cory Wong in Cork on Thursday. My mate went last night in Bristol and said it was brilliant, so I’m very much looking forward to it. 1 Quote
TrevorR Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Won some tickets to HRH Prog IX at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Not so interested in the bands further down the list or the second night (Dave Brock and Focus) but really looking forward to John Lees’ Barclay James Harvest and a full band set by Rick Wakeman - presumably performing tunes from his new album, The Red Planet!

neepheid Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 Next planned outing is hopefully to see SegaDeth on 1 May - they do covers of video game music. Here's a vid GTA on the PlayStation, oh yeah! I hope they do some Out Run. Magical Sound Shower FTW. Quote
Raslee Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I was at Cory Wong in Bristol last night...astoundingly funky! Edited February 24, 2020 by Raslee 2 Quote
4000 Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 The Staves. Would have been Lana Del Rey, but she stood me up. Quote

Saw them at The Dome Tufnell Park wednesday 4th. Had seen them supporting First Aid Kit (Brixton) last autumn and they were really good - notably a killer version of 'Whole of the Moon' which is on YT and well worth a look/listen. The Staves may be dismissed by some as a folky-hippy thing - so WRONG. Brilliant voices of course, very strong songs and a tasty 4 piece backing (guitar doubling on horn; bass, keys/synths and drums). Live sound was absolutely top-notch, with an excellent drum/bass mix. Even though they were one sister down, they were powerful, confident and hugely musical. From folk roots they are moving into a much bigger musical space. Fast becoming a serious headliner IMHO. 1 Quote
BrunoBass Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Next (planned) gig for me is Easy Life at The Roundhouse at the end of March. The tickets arrived over the weekend but I’m fairly certain it won’t be going ahead. Quote
fleabag Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 End of April Brand X , Milton Keynes, as long it's not cancelled Quote
billynoband Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Transmission a joy division cover band at Corby Tallisman 28 march. Quote

They’ve got some of the funniest banter going too. 😉 I first saw them supporting the wonderful First Aid Kit too, at Liverpool. Blood I Bled is just epic. As a friend said, like The Battle of Evermore sung by angels. 1 Quote
neepheid Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Aw well, that's the next gig I was planning to attend cancelled... Quote
4000 Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I’ve had Lana cancel due to losing her voice, Billie E suspend gigs for obvious reasons, but as yet it appears Nick Cave may still be on. I suspect not for long though! As for Genesis and Steve Hackett, I hope they’re being kept in isolation! 1 Quote
pbasspecial Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I'm guessing the answer is 'no one in the foreseeable future' 3 1 Quote

Just found out The Crauford Arms, MIlton Keynes is closing down in 2 days, 20th March. All gigs cancelled from then on. Understandable Quote
NickD Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 I'm not seeing SLF and Neville Staples a week on Saturday. I expect it won't be awesome. After that I'm probably not seeing Nick Cave in May. I expect that to be not awesome either. 1 Quote

Likewise Nick, won’t be seeing SLF etc. Shame but as the statement from Jake Burns said, just makes sense given what is happening at present. 1 Quote
NickD Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 It makes sense. Also most SLF fans are in the danger age group! 🤣 Quote
Jimothey Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Hopefully if everything calms down I’m seeing Black Stone Cherry in Liverpool in October........🤞 Quote
