In other news (with a Welsh link!) Have got tickets for Boy Azooga in Exeter next month - only £5.50!!!! Bargain No, I can't see a Phantom Power anniversary panning out, that was just over 15 years ago. New stuff would be great, but I think that's unlikely with the perpetual Gruff world tour and Gulp having only just released an album. Album anniversaries, Mwng has had a recent re release, so has Fuzzy Logic and Radiator. Guerilla will be 20 years old in 2019??? --- £5.50 is my kind of gig! plus £5.50 is the sort of gig where you get to chat to the band later. Been listening to some stuff today and slowly realised how much stuff I enjoy that includes a guy called Matthew Evans. Most recently helping out with some backing guitar for Boy Azooga. He's also been 'The Keys' (Newington of Boy Azooga was drummer on that project). Plus he was front of Murry The Hump. I've also just spotted him, uncredited, in a video by Colorama shot in a pub just up the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Bestival follows All Tomorrow's Parties. Quote The Bestival and Camp Bestival music festivals have been snapped up by a multi-millionaire Dorset entrepreneur just days after a collapse into administration. Richmond Group, controlled by the loan broker James Benamor, is buying the festival business after offering £1.1m for Bestival’s assets and brand. Richmond had lent Bestival Group £1.6m in February last year. Benamor founded Amigo Loans, a Bournemouth-based company that offers quick guarantor-backed loans, which was floated on the stock exchange in July. The business is valued at more than £1bn and Benamor’s Richmond Group has a stake of 61%. Julie Palmer, of the advisory firm Begbies Traynor, who was appointed administrator on 20 September, said she had received more than one offer for the business but Richmond’s was the best bid.

Murry the hump were so good, their demos were exceptional and the resultant album was spectacular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 I don't ordinarily do tribute bands, but these guys are good and they're also walking distance from the house, so it would be kind of rude not to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottaloo Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Went to see Jeff Lynne's ELO last night, for the second time in 2 yrs but this time at the NIA rather than NEC. Top night, great gig......he has such a big back catalogue that he was bound to leave out the odd favourite or two. The backing band were pretty much the same as 2 yrs ago, including three lovely young ladies on cello & violin. Due to the age of the average punter there last night, the queues to relieve slack bladders were very long but the atmosphere was sound and no probs in the crowd. Usual pee taking bar/food prices though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd tell your mate not to bother with the support act, Billy Lockett.......he's like a poor man's Ed Sheeran on a keyboard. I dont think the kid could believe his luck to be on that tour.

Designer1 Posted October 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 12, 2018 High on Fire tonight in Brum (no it's not a tribute to Richard Pryor). The last time I saw them was the loudest gig I've ever been to so I'm looking forward to having buzzing ears for the weekend Always great to see the legend that is Matt Pike. Any man that has a Facebook page dedicated to his gut is ok by me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 my mates seem to have got in to this thing where they message support bands on social media or sound technicians or random people in the background with stuff like "me and my girlfriend travelled to glasgow and saw you guys last week you were awesome, shame you've sold out tonight in our home town we'd love to see you again..." and they get a reply offering them free guest list tickets i got offered a free ticket for glasvegas in bristol tonight but couldnt make it, got a free ticket for ashcroft in nottingham in a couple of weeks not 100% how they do it but they're getting a lot to be fair to them, like once a fortnight the one lad is going to a free gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
