Seat68 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Tonight and tomorrow I am away in my motorhome alone to go and see some british guys playing country music. My wife is adamant that I am going alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIN to Nick Cave to Arctic Monkeys.... glorious. It was Craig David that swung it though be honest I'll be pretty envious while you're watching Alice in Chains to be fair, even without Layne Staley. Saturday looks particularly fun to me, but then PJ headlining so I would say that! Have fun man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at that one but am already at the Waters gig at Hyde Park looks like I’m doing Mad cool fest in Madrid instead the following week ... lot of the same bands but with the added bonus I won’t be trying to slit my wrists as Nick Cave isn’t playing Madrid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2018 You won't be surprised to know that there is virtually nothing I'd want to see in the above festival lineups. I would quite fancy this one, though: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The rather excellent and loud “Feeder” last night in Brixton , ears are still ringing this morning (as is the head !) Managed to get myself right into the mosh pit for the encore for some serious po-going .., knees are reminding me I’m too old for that sort of thing this morning !! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted March 18, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) The Stranglers were on form last night. Excellent set list that included most of the classics. Also a special mention for Therapy? who have been a favourite of mine for donkeys years. It's safe to say that they have gained a few new fans after putting on what was one of the best support shows I've ever seen (and I've seen a shit tonne).

The more I listen, the more I hear on each track. i think it’s a well crafted album. Jealous of being able to see decent musicians - bugger all reaches the south west beyond Bristol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 A couple of perfectly good local pub bands yesterday evening. Lots of crowd pleasing covers of Black Keys / White Stripes type stuff, played to a crowd that had been drinking since lunchtime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said in the interview in this month's MOJO that the previous album was all "spot the influence", and he was tired of being compared to Crosby, Stills and Nash. Well the new one is still "spot the influence", but I'm hearing more British sounds in there, not least Lennon/Beatles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 18, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2018 That Rock Werchter Line up is dreadful apart from the Sunday.
