Groundhog Dec 2024 12:57pm, 2 Dec 2024 6,681 posts	0 Groundhog I'm off to see Scott Lavene at the Face Bar in Reading tomorrow. Last time I saw him he was excellent, so I'm really looking forward to this one. Last I heard there were still a few tickets available. I thought MrsGH would be up for this one, but it turns out anything that involves standing for a couple of hours is too hard on her back, so I'm now picking on graduates at work to act as a surrogate child. (Both of mine are away at uni).
Fields Dec 2024 7:46am, 3 Dec 2024 11,876 posts	0 Fields Some venues will provide a stool or seat at the bar if you ask nicely I went to see folk legends Oysterband last night. They’re playing again at the same venue tonight so I’ll be there once more hoping for a different playlist, which they implied they’d do
Triplet Dad Dec 2024 2:05pm, 5 Dec 2024 2,835 posts	0 Triplet Dad Fontaines DC were excellent in Glasgow last night. I was worried that the Ovo (14k capacity) might be too big for them but their sound was able to cope although the support act Sorry were a bit lost in the bigger space. They played most of the new album coupled with the hits from previous records which all went down very well with a lively young crowd. I took my youngest offspring with me who really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed it, especially the tuba guy's solo for Zombie. They put lots of gorgeous shots of Ibiza on the big screen and now I want to book a holiday in Ibiza. Quite a few videos posted on you tube if you want to see a bit.

I was working right in the pit in front of him and it just went right through me Paying to see it next week in London.

1step2far Dec 2024 9:02am, 6 Dec 2024 7,752 posts	0 1step2far I bet! And the skill of the orchestra to play at that speed Looking forward to being a member of public. I've been very jammy this year with working gigs and festivals. But Pete tong was one of my stand out ones.
