I'm assuming Kj will be on stage around 9

Feverst were supposed to be support but apparently pulled out I was told.no matter,killing joke were superb.

I couldn't understand the hype about them, but saying that I can't understand the hype about Joe Bonamassa!!! At the end of the day, who cares what music people like, it's having the great variety that makes British music the best in the world :grin: :grin: :grin: He's a million times better than t...

Well,I'm going to one of the bay city rollers reunion gigs in December.the wife wants to go,so that's my excuse.actually,I reckon it'll be fun.

Boody wrote:Anvil is a great film. Beware of Mr Baker I found slightly unsettling, possible due to his irascible nature and general obnoxiousness. Also the way he dismissed Keith Moon had more than a whiff of jazz snobbery.

The beware Mr baker one was on BBC 1 last week.might still be on the iPlayer.

That's Derek Forbes out of the band now.something to do with the touring schedule conflicting with other stuff he wants to do.they will be replacing him with a new guy,no word on who yet.they better hurry as they have a big on Saturday.would be good if it was Tony butler,though I doubt it

How about getting in to their next Glasgow show for free if you still have your ticket from the last gig? Make up a bit for the early finish cos of the power cut.

Got the new album,semi detached.its pretty good and hopefully they will be touring it this year.seen the last 3 tours(apart from the one with heaven 17,reckon they were support anyway),including Glasgow in 2011 which was the first gig for 25 years.its more of a Neil Arthur solo thing these days as S...

Went to see wilko in Glasgow last night on his still kicking tour.excellent.you wouldn't think it was somebody who'd had a load of organs and stuff removed from his body last year.

Jim

didnt the lead singer kill himself a year or so after that in the night tour? i seem to remember reading that in strangled.

It was OK.would have liked to hear from ex members Wolfgang flur and Karl bartos.there was a bit too much chat from various people,especially Paul morely.I ended up fast for wording through his endless boring talk.was surprised the model wasn't played or even mentioned.saw them in 91 and 2004 UK tou...

The one that I can't stand is Alan Carr.the most patheticly unfunny so called comedian I have ever had the misfortune to see(on TV that is).every time I see the bender,I feel like kicking in the TV.

Pity this tour didn't come to Scotland.seen blancmange for the previous 3 years in Glasgow.the 2011 show at the ABC 2 was their first live gig for 27 years and was excellent. yup and the blanc burn CD was great as is happy families too - was steve luscombe playing this tour as he has been very ill ...
