Who are you seeing live next?

[theplumber]

Russ Ballard....

[odysseus]

Going to see Huun Huur Tu, the Mongolian/Tuvan throat singing guys next month at The Acorn in Penzance. After that, Indian metal band Bloodywood at the Crauford Arms in Milton Keynes.

Michael $odding Buble. Taking my partner (who's a fan). The band will be great but I am not looking forward to it, in the least.

My condolences. Sounds like a loooong evening... 😬

[Peloquin]

I'd forgot all about it but im going to see Mel C. next week.

I like her voice and her albums are good but my main interest in her lies elsewhere. .

 

Plus,  after chatting on here I now have a ticket to go see SLF and im quite excited about it.

You need to tell “Yo Mickey Bubble” in a fake New York Mafia accent at least 42 times throughout the evening to make it more bearable.

Good news: Fairport Convention,  in about 15 minutes, as I'm in the bar during the interval before their set.

BAD NEWS!  Before the show the band said that Dave Pegg tested positive for Covid this morning,  so is not playing.  So they've had to work out a new set of old songs they can play without him.

Should be interesting at least 👍

[Richard R]

Fairport UnPegged were both interesting and superb, as was the support. It would be good to compare notes with @Stub Mandrel who saw the full band last Friday, but I don't want to clutter up this thread.  Is there a "concert reviews " thread? If not then I'll start one.

I was about to book tickets to see Killing Joke in Bristol O2 Academy but been put right off by the price. 

£45 to see them in a venue with terrible sound and ridiculous drink prices just isn't appealing. I love seeing Killing Joke live but for that price I could pay for two gigs in Bristol at venues with better sound, better atmosphere and not get fleeced when I get thirsty.

Last time I  went to Bristol Academy, it was a double headline show with Skints and Interruptors and tickets were £28 and that was shortly before first lockdown. If they want to get people back to gigs, pushing up ticket prices isn't the way to do it. 

[Lozz196]

Agree, we all know the entertainments industry has been hit hard over the last couple of years so making it worthwhile to go out and have a good time surely makes more sense.

[SteveXFR]

I think it all went wrong when O2 Academies moved their ticket sales to Ticketmaster.

Suzanne Vega in Brighton tomorrow...

😀

[casapete]

Just booked tickets to see Jimmy Webb on his UK tour in May. One of my favourite writers, looking forward to hearing his songs and stories.

I saw her a few years ago and she was great.  My first ever "sit down"gig. 

She's probably my favourite female vocalist. 

Marlene on the Wall is my most best favouritist song ever. 

[Peloquin]

I've just looked and to go to liverpool on Saturday and sit st the back is £112 for 2 tickets.  I'll give that a miss.

Ooof. It was £37 a pop last night. High up and at the back but she was very good.

And she sang Marlene on The Wall....

Hotter now than she used to be imho

… and superbly talented also

Got a clutch of gigs coming up in March.  Go West at the Cliffs Pavilion in Westcliff on 16th, Curtis Stigers somewhere in Eastbourne on 19th, Simple Minds at Wembley on 31st.  Looking forward to all of those very much.

[jonno1981]

My wife’s various classical concerts (she plays cello), then Devin Townsend at the royal Albert hall in April. 

[Nail Soup]

Napalm Death in Milton Keynes, March 26th. Quite a small venue, so that's a plus point.

I saw them couple of times in the 80s then kind of lost touch. I reconnected with them via a couple of Basschat suggestions (and found that they had maintained a good quality output over the years)and decided to see them live again at next opportunity.

 

(Although I have the Woodentops a couple of days before, so not strictly next)

Tori Amos in Manchester first week of March - on a Tuesday. Anyone know much about the O2 Apollo...?

 

[paul_5]

Yeppers, it's one f the best sounding venues in Manchester. Seen loads of bands there and the sound has always been excellent, in fact I saw Ms Amos when she was touring her Strange little girls album at the Apollo. Amazing night.

[cetera]

'War Of The Worlds' immersive experience this afternoon.... followed by yacht rock revivalists 'Young Gun Silver Fox' tonight!
