odysseus Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peloquin Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Richard R Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard R Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) 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.

SteveXFR Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 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 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think it all went wrong when O2 Academies moved their ticket sales to Ticketmaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno1981 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 My wife’s various classical concerts (she plays cello), then Devin Townsend at the royal Albert hall in April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnm93 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Tori Amos in Manchester first week of March - on a Tuesday. Anyone know much about the O2 Apollo...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
