Simply Red and Lisa Stanfield end of July. Squeeze in October.

Was due to see Crowded House in Barcelona but have had to duck out. Will watch them at Glastonbury instead.

CHIC next week!

Brilliant. If you ever get the chance don’t hesitate!

The Chantel McGregor Band in a couple of weeks time. Playing at a club not far from where I live. Chantel is a fine blues guitarist.

Squeeze on Friday night in Cambridge. Very, very good. A few fillers but mostly solid Gold.

Nice!

I’ve got Kaiser Chiefs at the O2 on Saturday supported by The Fratellis and The Sherlocks. 
 

Mike Batt (you know, The Wombles bloke) at some point during the month then some Meatloaf tribute at the end of the month.

Seen the KCs before munkie. Always put on a lively show. As for the Fratellis worth going just for Chelsea Dagger.

I saw The Fratellis not too long ago and they were brilliant (the weird Celtic supporting band that were with them not so much). 

@just how was Squeeze? I’ve heard good things.
 

As for last night The Fratellis > Kaiser Chiefs. 

Last week was the second time I have been to a Squeeze gig munkie. Excellent both times. The audience was mostly of a certain age as you would imagine! Tilbrook's voice is still great but what many don't realise is that he is also a hugely talented guitarist.

One band I would recommend is Razorlight if you get a chance to see them. Saw them at a small festival pre-Covid and they were banging.

I saw Razorlight at a festival years ago and thought they were sh*te! Very much like they wished they were anywhere else. 

The Cure next month and Editors in January.

 

Saw The Illegal Eagles last week who were really good but one of them looks like a young Bob Mortimer which I found highly distracting!

Went to see Bad Manners a couple of weeks ago, great craic and seen Paul Heaton on Friday. Unfortunately Jacqui Abbott wasn't there.

Going to see Depeche Mode in June, and might get over to see Deacon Blue in September.

Going to see The Detroit Cobras in London in November.

The Vaccines again tonight. Always brilliant. 

Dinosaur Jr in Melbourne next weekend. Cant wait.

A bit off subject but an interesting article about playing in large and small venues. I prefer watching in smaller venues. In a lot of the larger venues you can't appreciate the sound and have to look at screens to see the people on stage.

Going to see The Killers tomorrow at the O2. Yes, the day England play Holland in the euro semi-final. Fate kicks me in the balls again. It's happened to me once before. Took me mum to see Frank Sinatra at the old docklands arena in 1990. The day England played West Germany in the World Cup semi-final.

Johnny Marr in a fortnight. Then Abba Voyage next month (can I borrow your thigh high white heels @Mod?)

You know I would, but I traded them with @Munkunku a while back for waterproof socks!

Going to see the Chantel McGregor Ban on 26 January. Should be a good gig. Hopefully will be the end of a great day as will be at the Bridge earlier to see Chelsea Women v Arsenal Women.

Can't beat the Blues. My favourite style of music and of course Chelsea and Rangers play in blue. A wonderful colour.

On a bit of a run now.

Paul Heaton and Brian Jonestown Massacre few weeks back. Tindersticks coming up, also got tickets to see Morrissey and Lana Del Rey.

I’m off to see Paul Heaton with Rianne Downey in Belfast in just over a week.

Later on this year I’ve The Sawdoctors, Oasis and Sultans of Ping. Will surely get some more in as well.
