Nick Cave and Warren Ellis tour - there's a gig up the road from me - tickets are 95 quid plus fees for a decent seat. Agree, love the album but there's no freakin way I'm paying that much for a ticket, I can go to the Futurama Festival for two whole days of bands I like for less 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has probably been the best gig announced at Villa Park to date, although the competition is not high with Bon Jovi and Take That... Springsteen played Villa Park in '88, the obvious winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I see the Boo Radleys have decided to eat at the 40 plus indie nostalgia trough and have reformed. Playing the hare and hounds as well as other relatively small venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible man Martin, he'll get all the PRS anyway so why bother putting up with Sice's ego I put them on a few times in the early days, Martin is a lovely man, Sice was an arsehole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed that as they were back under that name it was Martin Carr that instigated it. From The Boo Radleys then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't freaking wait Grew up just outside of Greensboro, saw pretty much all of my first shows there! ~20 years of life as a performing musician and guitar teacher in the South has, let's say, tempered my personal Skynyrd enthusiasm somewhat, though I have friends that have opened for them recently who say they still put on a killer show (and are much, much nicer than the guys in Molly Hatchet)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Lindsey Buckingham playing the UK next May. He's on my bucket list but sadly not playing Brum...so next nearest is Liverpool Philharmonic. Anywhere cheap but decent to stay overnight round there @bicksteror should we just drive home after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere cheap but decent to stay overnight round there @bicksteror should we just drive home after? plenty of places to stay in Liverpool, let me have a think Your problem is, it's the last day of the season and Redscouse are at home to the Dogheads. That'll be high prices in all the main hotels already The Travelodge (Liverpool Docks) is currently at £120 that night already, The Ibis Is £217. the Campanile appears to be £500 (jesus wept!) I haven't found a place in the city centre less than £120 and even most of the usual hotels are at £230 plus, some have very limited availability, some are even fully booked already Even the shitholes will be booked up and overpriced Bit of a shame really you could have bought me loads of pints whilst I told you how shit a certain band are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
