Your next gig?

I'm going to see Gorillaz in Birmingham in a couple of weeks - my daughter, Caitilin, is an obsessive Blur/Gorillaz fan, so I imagine it'll be another desperate dash for the front.

Nice one Ticky, was staggered to find out the price of a ticket was £52 - bejesus ! thank gawd they're free ! Now if it was Blur.....not a problem in stumping up.

Next gig, unexpectedly is tonight !

Foals at Manchester Academy - a spare on Facebook is mine - I am VERY excited !!

Ah thanks MBV for Doves reading, sounds immense.

I have been on the road for 5 weeks and seemed to have missed a mountain of gigs I had tickets for. I missed Badly Drawn Boy, Kloot, Doves, the Miserable Rich, the most annoying beng Kloot who were at the same venue we were playing but always the night after! aaahhhhh.
To make up for lost time, Midlake on Tuesday, Goldheart Assembly on Wednesday...
Hope everyone on here is rockin'

I bet you had a fantastic time though LL. I think we'd all LOVE to do what you've just done at least once in our lives!!! If we ever get to have that drink one day, I'd bet you'd have a few stories to tell!

We willl have that drink!
The next tour isn't until December, so now have to find another job, preferably one that pays me to hang out with my friends for another five weeks
We got tickets for Tuung on Saturday, you sure you're not in London?

I wish!! I love Tunng - have a good one!

Everything Everything, again! Union Chapel, Islington next month. Can't wait!

Beach House on Friday at Manchester Cathedral - YAAAAAAAYYYY !

From Saturday the luscious singer Victoria Legrand, will then be named Victoria MyBuryvest, when she agrees to a Lancastrian Winter Wedding with yours truly !

Or - I'll be woken at 7am by my 3 year old, wanting to do zoo jigsaws......

How did you enjoy it MBV? I've got to say that I thought it was just FAB! It was made all the better for me seeing half the Clash on stage. I haven't seen them live for 32 years!!!!! Christ I feel ancient. It was well worth the price of the ticket, what with the amount of people on stage at any one time AND with all the special guests. Mark E Smith was a great surprise, but Caitilin thought he was a bit of a plonker. As predicted, we got to the best position in the place - right on the rails EXACTLY in the middle. She's as an obsessive fan of Blur/Gorillaz as I am about Elbow. I can't think where she gets that from....

Frightened Rabbit tomorrow. I may have to be physically restrained from invading the stage!

Hi Ticky ! I went in with an open mind.....right down the front, like daughter like Mum eh ? haha !

From start to finish it really kept my attention and I really enjoyed it - we had very good seats so we could see everything going on, on stage - Mark E Smith and Bobby Womack guested, the latter was shit hot ! Not really a Fall fan but DO like Glitter Freeze. Also, it was the first time i'd seen Damon Allbran on stage - and he was captivating, he really was, really enthusiastic as you'd imagine. Loved seeing the audience cross section, to parents with kids, lads of my age to couples.....All in all a great night ! Plastic Beach now makes complete sense.

After Manic Street Preachers, Doves, Foals, Gorillaz and Beach House in the past 5 weeks it's a break til mid December when I'm off to Manchester GMEX to see Arcade Fire......for the first time !

Oh, Beach House were AMAZING - where have this band been all my life ?

Beach House are phenomenal!

I went to see Local Natives last night, the screaming of teenage girls made me feel like I was at a Take That Concert for indie kids
Support from Summer Camp who were quite cool...

David Ford tonight, Tenebrous Liar tomorrow...

The Bluetones Friday in Manc, my virgin experience....never listened, never cared, however boyfriend does....anyone like/dislike/don't care??

The National in Manc on Saturday!! Is anyone going?? I'm so excited!!

I've seen 'em many times and they usually do put on a good show, but I think you need to be into them really.

Funnily enough they seemed to stop playing their biggest hit, Slight Return, until last time I saw them about three years ago, and that was the first time I had seen them do it live.

And Mark Morriss is a lovely, charming man indeed.

Not sure, but I just ordered Rush in Frankfurt on 29th May 2011...
MY next gig will be on 13th January at the musicschool singing a chanson by Georg Kreisler and a friend from the Georg Kreisler Forum...

And then there will be Mogwai in Berlin on 29th March...
I just hope, when Elbow comes back that nothing will overlap

Hmmm, it wasn't acutally a concert, although it was as loud as a concert!
MICHAEL FLATLEY! Gosh, I'm in love.
It was really, really great. Lord of the dance with 52 yrs. He's still the man!

My next concert: Kings of Leon.

Villagers - Manchester Academy 3 on Monday
The album sounds like what would have happened if Feargal Sharkey had joined Prefab Sprout, so it should be interesting!

Villagers live are amazing, as tight as the album itself and Conor is a brilliant showman. You'll have a great night, Sparky.

@ Longlegs - didn't spot you, but what a night! Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks so beautiful unplugged at the very end... *sob*

Ahh the love!!
Matt in the crowd for Mr November....I didn't see you either, I was suppossed to meet a friend and it got so packed so quickly. £1.50 drinks on a Saturday night will definitely get people into the venue earlier. Nice to see the Elbow boys there too
Glad you had fun!

I'm going tomorrow and Wednesday too

Good call mrswoman. Villagers were indeed excellent, much better live than I expected. A good crowd too, you could here a pin drop during "Twenty Seven Strangers"

Big week next week: United Valencia on Tuesday and Arcade Fire in Birmingham on Wednesday

The Coral performing 'Butterfly House' acoustically at Ruby Lounge, Manchester - 16 Jan.

Should be blinding !

Mogwai in Edinburgh supported by The Twilight Sad. Sweet!

Well, and I will try to see Maserati in March. Unfortunately, when they are in Berlin I am in Koblenz, but I think I will see them in Leipzig, Hamburg or Braunschweig...

Its a New Year ( a very happy New Year to you all), which means new music and a 12 months ahead to look forward to gigs and festivals.

So has anyone got any plans then?

Im off to see the wonderful Hurts at Manchester Academy on the 8th Feb followed by, Elbow on the 25th March at the M.E.N (im already counting the days!), then ive( and please dont judge me for this next confession), Take That on the 4th June, with Glastonbury at the end of the month.
