So what are you listening to at the moment?

[Kellfire]

I'm not one for political songs but this is just superb...

And a newer song from the same band, Against Me! now that the singer has officially become a woman and written and album about her journey...

Was listening to this in the tub earlier, a little flashback to my youth, Flowered Up - Weekender.

[Doon frae Troon]

And me, I aways have their 'Greatest Hits' in the car. They were starting out when I was around 18, loved them then and love them now.

Did you have a tiger tail on your Lambretta whilst wearing a parka though?

I had the full kit.

Saw Asia at Shepherds Bush Empire last Sunday, so catching up on some of their albums on vinyl.

Were you a Face, a Ticket or one of the Numbers Doon?

I went to see Big Country last Thursday and have been playing numerous tracks of theirs all week. Great band.

 

[Blue in Munich]

Catching up on a bit of Skynyrd as I've just booked for next April at the Hammersmith Odeon.

They were fantastic in their day, not sure I can take to the new singer though, which is a shame as they play some terrific stuff.

I saw them live at Reading. Pretty good.

I just turned down tickets for Boomtown Rats tomorrow

I'm with c1973 on this, the band still play great but the vocals just aren't right for me. Went to see them last year & for the first time ever walked out early on a gig, it was spoiling the memories of previous performances.

You've got more taste than I gave you credit for, giving Sir Bob a miss.

 

[c1973]

I'm saying nothing, I'm going to see Jason Donovan at the end of the month!!


















In fairness, it's the War of the Worlds stage show and I think he might be singing a wee bit during it.

I even had a back stager to meet and greet Sir Bob after. Was a major factor in swerving. I see Toyah is playing a small venue in Reading in February. Tempted

On holiday in the USA last year got into the free concert on the lawn of the Capitol building; if the Mrs wants to wind me up re musical taste in front of other people she tells people that I've been to see Neil Diamond & Barry Manilow in concert, obviously leaving out the details of how & why.

Saw Jason Donovan in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, & he was rather good, enjoy.

Just picked up an original copy of The Beatles Rubber Soul from a charity shop for 50p (vinyl obviously). Listening to my find right now. Also picked up a few others including albums by Family, Free, Stranglers, Atomic Rooster, Clapton and Peter Green. Classic stuff.

I remember seeing Atomic Rooster way back and Peter Green a few times, in fact I saw him play Albatross once when he wasn't too shot away!

Me and the wife went to see Neil Diamond took her Grandad - was a great time

I will do.:thup:

I've read some reviews saying he puts in a bloody good performance.

Not sure about Marti Pellows chances of measuring up to Justin Heyward though, although having said that I had the pleasure of seeing Marti belting out some classic Soul numbers years ago and he was pretty good tbf.

Can't see him comparing but he's always put in a good performance when we've seen him, doubt you'll be disappointed.

I saw Marti Pellow recently in Evita and he was pretty good
