• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Upcoming live concerts.

Elton John next week and seen Brian Wilson (beachboys) last week, last night of the proms (Liverpool Phil......harmonic;) ) next month.

This is becoming expensive........
I have heard Liverpoolphil called a few names, but not harmonic.:whistle::)

Got tickets for Blue Oyster Cult, Status Quo and REO Speedwagon, and Wishbone Ash for later in the year.
 
Got a few coming up:
Ennio Morricone
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Caravan Palace
Then in the autumn Michael Kiwanuka and also GoGo Penguin. Also just booked to see the Nick Cave film on the eve of the new album release, very much hoping there will be a tour to go with this album.

And I can't believe REO Speedwagon and Blue Oyster Cult are still going either! Somewhere in my Mum's house I've got some A-label singles from both of those, from the times when I was a kid and had relatives working for MCA and CBS.
 
I'm going to see the Johnny Cash Roadshow next saturday. Never saw the great man himself, but this is supposed to be the best tribute going.
Then the next night going to see Simpson, Cutting & Kerr. Fantastic musicians.
 
Got tickets for Motown; The Musical in March, Heart and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the RAH in June & Lionel Richie in July. Also got tickets for the Ryman Auditorium & the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville for when we are on holiday; don't ask me who we are seeing as they won't confirm the line ups until much nearer the day but we weren't going to miss the opportunity. Well, I wasn't and she's tagging along……. :lol:

Having just got back from the US of A, she who was tagging along thoroughly enjoyed the Grand Ole Opry and particularly the Ryman Auditorium. Also took in a couple of blues bands in the garden of the King's Cafe in Beale Street and a couple more in B. B. King's club, no shortage of bands whose names we never found out on Broadway in Nashville and more museums and studios than you could shake a stick at but the absolute highlight was the Friday night at Preservation Hall in New Orleans. We saw the Legacy band on Thursday but Friday was the Preservation Hall Brass. The repertoire was billed as spanning traditional classics to the hard hitting marching tunes heard in New Orleans parades, and they didn't disappoint.

If you enjoy music and you've ever fancied a holiday like that I'd urge you to make it happen, it was absolutely brilliant.
 
I went to see Barry last night. Fabulous, fantastatic, soooooooo much fun. Get a ticket to see him, leave your inhibitions at home. If you do not come out feeling happier about life then something is seriously wrong with you. One extra, the bloke can really sing. Not just a nice, pleasant voice, he can throw a note out and hold it. Very impressive.
 
Going to Coldplay at Wembley on Wednesday. Although it's on my birthday it was a Christmas present for the wife as I'm not really a massive fan. So golf in the morning, lunch at our favourite Thai restaurant with a load of beer and then on to see them isn't a bad day.

Also got tickets for Kula Shaker at the Forum in December - should be fun.
 
We saw Simply Red last week and to be honest it's not my bag at all, but, to be fair they were terrific and Mick Hucknell hasn't lost any of his vocal ability.

The next gig is open air again, to see Bryan Adams, I'm really looking forward to that one

Been going to see him for over 30 years now & he hasn't disappointed yet, enjoy. Canterbury Cricket Ground? Hope the weather's good, might have done it ourselves but for football that afternoon.
