jazzmanb Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 (edited) Thundercat last night He's clearly a very talented bloke but its a mad old combo of out there jazz madness meets super smooth dreamy soul/rnb type thing What is for sure it you get world class playing from drums and keys and bass and it sounded superb Best live bass mix i've heard and i've seen Geddy,claypool,levin .karn etc Edited March 30, 2024 by jazzmanb Quote
Guest Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 Pulp in may...in Amsterdam. It's one of my wife's bucket list gigs, and I've never been to Amsterdam, so it'll be a long weekend. Plus, an old college friend happens to be their new bassist 😎 #namedrop 😅 Then Janes Addiction later in the year. Can't remember when... Quote
Rosie C Posted March 30, 2024 Posted March 30, 2024 (edited) We're just back from seeing "Texas Fever Tick" - a mix of various Americana music. They made a great sound - both were singing, the guitarist was doing Carter family picking to give something approximating bass, while the banjo player was also playing kick drum.

Would love to see Jane's Addiction, there's a fair likelihood they can't remember when either... 1 Quote

Agree with your description. Pleased to see place was packed. He's an incredible talent. Didn't have a clue what he was on about in the chat between songs though 😂 Quote
casapete Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 On Saturday I’m going to see ‘Band of Friends’ featuring Gerry McAvoy on bass. Saw him with Rory Gallagher in the mid 70’s, so hope it will be an interesting evening. 1 Quote
PaulThePlug Posted April 2, 2024 Posted April 2, 2024 See Gerry play with Nine Below Zero... great gig. Quote

Seen them twice, my partner said the first was the best gig she's seen, and she's seen more gigs than most people. Quote
Grahambythesea Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 Just got back from seeing Track Dogs, very entertaining. Bassist had a very battered Fender Jazz with the TV logo so probably 70’s, in gold finish which was turning green. Anyone know if this is a common occurrence with metallic gold finishes? Quote
Peloquin Posted May 3, 2024 Posted May 3, 2024 Just waiting for the doors to open at The Salty Dog in Northwich. XSLF are in tonight. Henry Cluney, original Stiff Little Fingers guitarist. Quote
Jonesy Posted May 3, 2024 Posted May 3, 2024 I've got tix for Part Chimp next Saturday, always look forward to seeing them live! Quote
Frank n funker Posted May 10, 2024 Posted May 10, 2024 A Certain Ratio tonight at Social here in Hull. A small venue based in the former Fruit Market development on Humber Street next to the Marina. They are playing their new album "It all comes down to this" in full along with other great songs from a career spanning 40 + years and 13 albums. Bass duties are shared between singer Jez Kerr, drummer Don and recent addition to the touring band Viv. She's a really cool player who also steps up on guitar and percussion. In my opinion the best and most underrated band to come out of Manchester to never make it big. Their Manchester vibe is undeniable, should be a brilliant night. Quote

toneknob Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 1 hour ago, cetera said: Stewart Copeland (spoken word) - Fleet I grew up in Fleet. The fact that Stewart Copeland is doing a gig (albeit spoken word) in the room where I used to go to school discos and fail to pull is making my 13-year old head spin. 1 Quote
martthebass Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 Gary Numan performing Replicas and The Pleasure Principle in Newcastle May 23rd…love these type of gigs Quote
casapete Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 Jools Holland and his R’n’B orchestra this Friday in Scunthorpe. Looking forward to seeing singers Imelda May and Ruby Turner, although of course I’ll also be keeping an eye on the wonderful bass playing of Dave Swift. Also not long to seeing Sheryl Crow and her amazing band at Halifax in June. 1 Quote
Peloquin Posted May 13, 2024 Posted May 13, 2024 I have tickets for Rebellion Festival in Blackpool so will be watching many bands there. Off the top of my head...
