Re: Brighton?

This must be one of the most exhaustive gig reviews I have ever seen written up by local news media. https://www.brightonandhovenews.org/2022/02/18/the-stranglers-return-to-brighton-on-their-final-full-tour-in-memory-of-dave-greenfield/ That's a great review. I guess that it sums up how a lot of fa...

When that cohesion fails the band doesn’t work as well (doesn’t mean they’re bad, just not as good). Whether a...

Re: French Tour Set Opener....

I would start with heroes or hanging around which I never remember been a opener but I think water is a stick on I'd probably choose something like Hanging Around as well. The only time I can recall them opening with it was Weyfest 2010 - think it might have been chucking it down so maybe the band ...

So about 15 hours in with over 200 votes cast, this is the tally from Facebook BUT members so far with t...
