Edinburgh for me,all going well!!

I will be making my (Is it really 20!) 20th appearance to see SLF at the Barras on St Paddies nite this year, and its good to see SOD on the same bill to.The Red Eyes (My band) have been given the support slot on the SOD date at Ivory Blacks in Glasgow on Wed 2nd Feb,as they are doing a few dates be...

Nice sum up Toiler, couldn't have put it better myself.Really enjoyed the gig in which most of the audience were dressed up like extras from ICE STATION ZEBRA! and who could blame em.Thought Rescue was immense and it took me back to the old days in the early 80's when i was at college serving my app...

After watching Imelda May on the Jools Holland show, i was that impressed i decided to catch her on her up and coming tour in Feb 2011.I missed out the last time she played in Glasgow, so i made the effort this time. New album MAYHEM is excellent,and if you like a bit of psychobilly rock with a grea...

Managed 2 Doningtons in the 80's, enjoyed both of em,AC/DC headlined in 84 with Van Halen as special guests (i think this might have been Mr Roths last gig with the band) Ozzy was on the bill as was Motley Crue's first UK appearance.Y&T played to.Then 86,Ozzy headlined with Motorhead and The Sco...

[quote="Never to look back"]I saw Maiden at the Glasgow Apollo during the Beast on the Road & World Slavery Tours. Great live band. My mate Wullie,who is no longer with us, (God rest his soul) was mad on Maiden,he went to the early tours at the Apollo,The Killers Tour with french band ...

[/ Not me. That gig you described with the camouflage netting..that was my bruvs first gig methinks (different venue but same tour).... Never really excited me this band but I do have an open mind. quote] I always liked the first 2 albums, especially Heaven Up Here which i think was the tour we ref...

You could be right old bean,but alas,it's not who you are, it's what you do!!

Giving the first 2 Bunnymen albums a good listen as i'm off to see em on Wednesday 8th Dec at the 02 Academy Glasgow! One of the best shows i've seen at the old Apollo was Echo And The Bunnymen in Dec 81, i think label stablemates The Wild Swans were the support act. A great gig, with the camouflage...

Yeah, I liked em when i saw em supporting the MIB's in 90's! Bought their Human Soup album on the strenght of their performance!! So yeah, not because Baz is now a Strangler, but for the Smalltown Heroes music and live show as a band!!

Mr Castle and my good self should be popping along to the Tuts gig,unless there is any last minute changes!
Apollo79, are you dragging yourself oot of the Laurie and making an appearance?

Bit late with this but i went up to see the Furs at the ABC in Glasgow last night and really enjoyed a bit of 80's nostalgia! I only bought my tckt last Friday as i was pondering wether to go or not, i'm glad i did, as it was a good gig. Met my mate in the boozers for a couple of pints before headin...
