You're such a loser even Chesterstokie has seen them perform Jonathon David Too right I have. And unlike on that video the fella who sings it (sorry don't know his name off by heart yet) sat and played the piano whilst singing it. And at one point someone shouted a request and Stuart had a go at it but really couldn't do it at all and the girl (sorry don't know her name off by heart yet) kept prompting him with clues and he still couldn't do it so he gave up. Sorry but I have no idea what the song was. Next time I'll know. That happens quite a lot; they'll often have a go at jamming through some deep cut that someone shouted out. But with a catalogue that's probably getting on for about 200 songs, they also often fail to remember them! They do go off-piste quite frequently. We picked up the set-list at Manchester, and they'd played three or four songs that weren't listed. Stevie Jackson and Sarah Martin, btw.

Just back from the Y Not Festival - some great lesser known bands heard when wandering around the smaller stages, but the big boys stole the show.
The Wombats and Royal Blood were outstanding, but James really gave them a run for their money, and then Kasabian were absolutely next level.
Their music has by and large passed me by over the years, but just downloaded their back catalogue, and just been hunting for further live Kasabian shows. My 8 year old lad currently has Royal Blood blasting out of his bedroom, and my 9 year old has The Wombats blaring out - it’s great to see them really getting into their own stuff after years of me shoving Depeche Mode and Fleetwood Mac down their throats 😁

Must admit to having a soft spot for Techno fan

Spent the weekend at Steelhouse Festival in south wales, first off a small festival run locally and has volunteers to help but the assistance of Planet Rock Radio. Great festival, myself and my two kids (13 & 9). It was good for families.
Friday I saw for the first time When Rivers Meet, I’ve heard their back catalogue (after getting a festival ticket) and love their tracks, even better live and the lead singer is easy on the eye but has an amazing voice.
The headliner Kris Barras Band I’m a massive fan and was class as always. Other bands were good but the two mentioned stood out on Friday.
Saturday an amazing triple header first Florence Black, another band that I love right now and that was my 4th time of seeing them live. Next was Those Damn Crows who had an amazing set, I’m definitely a fan after seeing them live. And the headliners Airbourne rocked the stage from start to finish as expected
Sunday, the weather conditions were ballistic, the festival is in the Welsh mountains so the climate is a lot cooler and very wet yesterday.
Highlight for me was Elegant Weapons who are a supergroup that’s got a debut album out. Very old school metal and loved their performance. Black Stone Cheers were headliners and were good but I thought they were better when I saw the at the O2 Academy in brum a couple of years ago.
Kira Mac were class and my daughter was an instant fan.
Great weekend and the beer of choice was the Motörhead Road Crew IPA, highly recommended 🤘🏻good to see members of those damn crows milling in the crowd enjoying themselves.

Rodney Branigan played for well over an hour and a half I think? What a brilliant and varied set, with the 'normal' singer-songwriter kind of material, plus his two guitar stuff, vocals and bass guitar-only tracks, superb looped vocal-only tracks and all sorts. A funny guy too.

Saw Swans at the weekend.... fucking immense. Almost certainly the loudest band in the world. 2 hours of ear shattering majesty. Was genuinely regretting not using ear plugs for a few days after but the old lugs seem to have recovered now.
Not a band I'd listen to at home much tbh but just am incredible live experience. I don't know how they've been doing that for the best part of 40 years tbh

I don't know how they've been doing that for the best part of 40 years tbh I'm assuming you saw them at the Albert Hall? And yes, how on earth are they not all deaf or at least suffering from severe tinnitus? I'm not sure it's necessary to play that loud anymore. Every tour they do, will ultimately result in unsuspecting members of the audience ending up with permanent hearing damage and I find that quite sad. Glad your tinnitus has cleared up.

Yeah Albert Hall. Goes straight into my top ten gigs tbh, really was incredible. I think Gira has to be deaf as a post by now...the volume of his voice and acoustic alone were awe-inspiring, let alone the cacophony when the lap steel howled and the drummer knocked absolute fuck out of his cymbals... extraordinary. heard a few whispers that this might be there last tour so bloody glad I managed to catch them. Erland Cooper at the Stoller Hall next for a rather different experience

www.stonedeadfestival.co.uk/Anyone at a loose end next Saturday (and Friday) & love Rock music, consider heading over to Newark. There are resale tickets available, Florence Black just got added due to Mason Hill having to cancel (due to ill health). Friday night party includes Kira Mac, but it’s also free parking and you can take your own booze into the arena, which in comparison to other festivals is a big bonus. 🤘🏻😎 I have also pre ordered my beer to be collected on site, Cameron’s Ale Motörhead Road Crew IPA 😊
