I never knew, he nearly went the same way as Tommy Cooper....Hmmm the Macc Lads, there was a time that I listened to them but I thought Feed Your Face stepped over the line...and my humour has changed and I don't find them remotely funny any longer which unfortunately I did...Quote:

Aye, you’re right he was playing tonight. Cracking gig. Sound was spot on. Don’t think I’ve been in HMT since I was a kid but it’s a lot smaller than I remember.Quote:

Nathan Bell, whose seething anti-Trump blue collar songs are just about the best protest around right now, is at the Blue Lamp on Saturday 6 October (arranged by Almost Blue Promotions, the agency of sheep1903, erstwhile contributor to this ailing, terminally-ill creaking hoor’s abortion of a site).
There's not much you can say after going to a gig like that, they get better everytime I see them.Quote:

The HMT was alright for a one-off gig like that. The bar shut as soon as gwai came on, which is nae ease.
Being a band ive never really got into on record and ive tried cos i must have most of their albums from a pal, i expected it to all become clear live last night what all the fuss is about.Quote:

I love all kinds of instrumental stuff, sonic soundscapes (Durutti Column/MBV/Cocteau Twins/Suicide/Spacemen 3/ electronica from Krautrock to Four Tet, soundtrack stuff and was looking forward to seeing what the fuss was all about and being blown away. Sadly not tho. Going from very quiet to really loud doesnt equal interesting to me. Few decent moments. No Coolverine was also disappointing.
Cool venue for a one-off. We where sat in the dress circle seats like Statler and Waldorf.
The bar closing was a joke.

Apart from Ventures’ and Shadows’ albums, this Joe Meek-esque retro album (2010-ish) is my favourite instrumental collection ever.

We may well be hirpling a bit now but there was a lot to be said for being young in the 1970's
Content yourself with the knowledge that these weren't available then.

Are those glasses available with a script? Certainly wouldn't have been required on 'that' day as it was pishing with rain and our eyes worked then.
