It’s still getting drowned out by some wailing from the festival a few hundred yards away. Happily it’s raining, cold and windy . Diana Ross ‘ll catch her death when she’s on later. I was wondering how you were getting on. I assumed there might be someone on the card you might like, but Diana Ross was not one of them. I quite liked Elbow back in the day.

Goldfrapp, Wet Leg, like you - early Elbow, Richard Hawley… Weller is on tonight, I think as are the charlatans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 My friends went to Scarborough last night to watch Elbow. I was invited but Elbow are amongst the worst bands I have ever heard, and trust me, I like a guy who sings about a woman who thinks his tractor is sexy. Hate Elbows music but think Guy Harvey is a likeable fella. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent me a screenshot of ‘a scruffy fella’ and asked who it was as he was enjoying it. All those **** decades of listening to the wrong shite, he finally listens to something closer to the right shite, and chooses the wrong bit of the right shite. I pretty much said, dreary band, decent enough bloke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2022 Elbow peaked on their first record and as they slowly changed and found their sound they got worse and the sound they've settled on is just too boring. It's music that won't offend your Mother-in-law Guy Garvey is a very nice man though, his radio show is quite good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted July 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2022 Leaders of the free world was the last one of theirs I really liked. I’ve not listened to it for ages though. When they were on the other night they sounded ok from 4 or 500 yards away with the windows open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those things you can't put your finger on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Pixies and Pearl Jam were excellent on Friday at Hyde Park… PJ are still one of the best live bands I’ve seen ..love all the extended guitar work they throw in …Randomly had John McEnroe on stage for the encore playing a bit of guitar One minor moan and in not sure if it’s a Hyde Park “we are near posh people” thing , but the sound level was really low , would have preferred it a few notches higher Back there tonight for a bit of Nile Rodgers /Chic and Duran Duran ( annoying gig clash with rescheduled Peter Hook gig but DD was a present from the wife so I have to give that one the priority ) and then that’s official 2020 over and done with , can start on doing 2022 things ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted July 10, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2022 Some kind of sub-Oasis band trying to get crowd interaction call and repeat and miserably failing. Apparently they’re called Lottery Winners. Hmmm. Charlatans next, then Weller, then that’s it done till the flag shagging in August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
