NurembergVillan Posted October 11, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 11, 2012 Just got my tickets for Spector at Manchester Ritz. Only a tenner. Should be a jolly old singalong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 my mate has just phoned me and called me a sneaky word removed me and his missus organized months ago for 6 of us to go to Newcastle to see spiritualized at the sage for his birthday and she has just gave him the tickets, he is Buzzing about it as its less than 2 weeks away but he doesn't realize that his Dad has got seats directly behind us (his Dad lives in Scotland so he only gets to see him once or twice a year) it was a win win situation for me cuz the truth is that it was just a very convenient coincidence that the gig fell around his birthday cuz we would have ended up going any way and it is a good excuse for a 2 day piss up with the geordie's.

saturdaygig Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Just got my tickets for Spector at Manchester Ritz. Only a tenner. Should be a jolly old singalong! Its a decent venue now, apart from the bizzare bar rules that you have to pay first then they get your beer. Saw Ian Hunter there on Thursday, which was good in parts. I just wish he'd rock it up more of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 did anyone else go to bloc party in brum on monday? brilliant, not a great set list (played IMO the worst songs from four) but still brilliant, crowd were well up for it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 So I saw Jim Jones Revue on Friday and the band were as ever, excellent. This was my first time at the o2 Academy since it moved from The Hummingbird (ask your dad) it was in the the academy 2, and it has to be said thats probably the worst venue I have ever been to in over 25 years of gigging. narrow, poor sound, toilets located to the right of the stage, a tiny bar staffed by 3 people to serve 600 people. Dreadful. I think it would have to be a pretty exceptional gig to get me back there, we usually see bands in manchester and it was only due to other plans that stopped us seeing JJR in the north on this tour. Next up for me is The Delta Bombers, a **** blinding rockabilly act from Las Vegas. We are seeing them in Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember you saying a few pages back that you were going to see JJR and I said that I would really have like to see them live as well. I'm glad it isn't just me that despises the new academy, I went to see the drive by truckers there a while back and you could tell that the band were being hampered by the awful sound in there, really is one of the worst sounding venues I have been to, you are right as well about the toilets and the bar, I would recommend anyone to avoid the place unless there is no where else to see your fave band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted October 21, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2012 did anyone else go to bloc party in brum on monday? brilliant, not a great set list (played IMO the worst songs from four) but still brilliant, crowd were well up for it too We saw them at Ibiza Rocks last month. Superb performance. I've never been a big fan but they blew the place up. They helped out by Zane Lowe who was a phenomenal warm up for them. Alt-J were first up. Good band but wrong crowd. Good tip off on the Ritz. Will probably have a few at Gorilla opposite first. Going straight from work so can get an early start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
