dAVe80 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Went to see Mogwai at Northumbria Uni last night. They were excellent, as always. Sun Ra Arkestra are playing The Sage at the beginning of April. Will be going to that, if I can find a mate to go with.

chrisp65 Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Billy Bragg in June, at the Donald Gordon in the WMC. Haven't bought a ticket yet, not sure the opulent faux opera surroundings suit our Billy. What does @tonyh29 think? Just can't picture myself stood in there, left arm aloft, chanting that there's power in a union and chives in the organic hummus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seat68 Posted February 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2018 My first tattoo is billy bragg related, word to the wise, make sure both you and your tattooist are sober. In a should never meet your heroes post. Years ago, mid nineties I went to Cambridge Folk Festival purely to see Billy Bragg. I saw him and hovered for a couple of minutes before he beckoned me over, we spent 20 minutes talking music, family, politics, the bnp and out of the many many "pop stars" I have met, singularly the nicest bloke I have met that is considered famous. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure in a big space, likely give it a swerve. Trouble being, he's got a bit of momentum behind him and outgrown the small spaces. Saw him in town at a little arts venue, proper rabble rousing good, people would have left that gig and burnt stuff down if he'd asked. Then also seen him at Park & Dare in treorchy doing a Woodie Guthrie celebration. Much quieter, a chatty relaxed evening. But equally brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
