OT - Music. Gigs. Sounds bought.

RIP Paul Di'Anno. What a bloody racket, but one I'm so glad I had my head in the bass bins for

Shame, too young.

2024 gigs brought to a close last night with the Zutons and Paul Heaton at a packed out Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham last night.
Both absolutely excellent. Can’t understand why the Zutons, who are now in their twentieth year, haven’t become bigger and, with the greatest respect to the superb Jacqui Abbott, her ‘stand in’ - Rianne Downey - was magnificent. Remember that name, bit of ‘a star is born’ moment.
A really great evening, but Nottingham on a Saturday night! I know I’m getting on a bit but no thanks. Full of sirens and blue flashing lights and the locals looked as if they’d staggered out of a scene from that bar in Star Wars.
Glad to cross the border back to civilisation. Explains a lot.

Possibly because, if I remember well. the Zutons disbanded 15 years ago and have only intermittently performed together since?

In a world of woes, music never disappoints IMO. I can?t say I dwell on either act and I?m not an arena gig type but I totally get why it would be a great gig. Regarding Notts, sounds like a quiet night to be honest but aren?t you thinking of Total Recall?

I doubt it, having never seen Total Recall!
Having looked the ‘bar’ up I was apparently thinking of the Mos Eisley Cantina, a sort of 1977 Star Wars equivalent of a Wild West saloon, which Obi-Wan Kenobi described as a ‘wretched hive of scum and villainy’. Not entirely dissimilar from Nottingham city centre last night then.

P.S. You’d probably have liked Rianne Downey. Very versatile but with a decidedly country edge…and she’s Glaswegian.

OR even in the bar with the Gremlins.

it would be the mutant three breasted hooker in the Total Recall bar that could have you minded of a Saturday night on the town in Notts? her name is Mary, rA should you visit again

I only mentioned how rowdy and unruly the centre of Nottingham seemed on a Saturday night and it’s set you off about three breasted hookers. Think you may be milking it.

That was the scene I was thinking of, and frankly we could have all milked it. Regretably she's been woked out of recent reissues/edits of the film so you may have to just imagine it rA
