Re: Bristol

Fair play to Baz...and the rest of them.
They played a memorable gig in an fantastic venue

Re: Bristol

The band do need to keep us updated today.
Definitely not a time for silence, except from Baz

Re: Bristol

I thought JJ was struggling with his voice in Dublin after the first four gigs.
Heck of a strain on both of them.

Anyhow, hope for an early decision for London. Don't want to be getting on a flight on Tuesday morning not knowing for sure...

Yes.
All four have been most enjoyable though.
That'll do me until London

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Such miserable begrudgery on here.

Anyhow, loved the show last night on home turf in Belfast.
Best of the three so far, even though Baroque was, in JJ's words, a car crash

Re: 50th Anniversary Setlist?

Set 1 ... awesome. Just buzzing with it at the interval
Set 2 ... not so awesome. Played brilliantly but I'd ditch four or five of the old standards. That's just me, I suppose

That's what I hear...
Wee bit of familiarity in the lyrics too

Is it just me, or do i detect the influence of a certain song in there?

Re: Baz's side project - WINGMEN

Well, the streamed show was a pretty good 90 minutes with a decent pub band.
If Baz wants to sneer about halfwits voting to leave the EU, that's his call of course. Doesn't sit well with me though. I want a night out and a laugh, not that.
If he brings it to Stranglers gigs, I'm out...

Re: Baz's side project - WINGMEN

Good tunes. Shallow lyrics, as one comes to expect from Baz.

Re: Songs you'd like to hear return

Just drop ten, any ten, undroppable songs from the setlist.
Play ten different songs, any ten.

Just freshen it up.
Its putting me off going to Australia thinking I could write the setlist here right now.
