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 😊 I'm at this one ,been the last 3 I think ,a cracking event

…. everyone got their tickets to see Royel Otis tonight in Nottingham?
If you miss them they’re also playing Leeds & Reading Festivals and one in Salisbury I’ve never heard of
One of Oz’s finest Indie Pop

Dead Sara the other week in LA. Really good show, lead singer has great stage energy. Not heard of these before, absolutely love it, the production is incredible!

Saw Iain Matthews (Matthews Southern Comfort) at Shrewsbury Castle on the weekend, decent enough event on a nice summers evening but poorly attended, lucky if anymore than 70 folk turned up

Just home from StoneDead fest in Newark , couple of cracking nights, heavy rain Friday rather buggered watching the 3 bands that much but what I saw of Kira Mac was good . The main festival day on Sat was a solid lineup, King King were pretty good, Therapy likewise, I'm so-so about Black Star Riders but they can certainly play (prefer the Almighty and indeed Ricky Warwick on his own) and much as they didn't seem to a lot of the crowds taste Blue Öyster Cult were brilliant, possibly a few too many deep cuts for a festival set,but plenty of big tunes and they played immaculately. A good value well run festival and met some old and indeed new friends ,a few drinks and a good chat, and a pleasure to meet our own Daz aka 36dd off here

The Walkmen at New Century, Manchester.
Decent gig in a really top drawer venue although they threw in 'The Rat' 4 songs in. Bit of a waste really, should have been nearer the end.

Bands wise I had never seen or listened to Therapy? So they were a pleasant surprise. Always loved Florence Black’s set, plus Kira Mac. Had an amazing weekend, loved the atmosphere the ease of getting around and the relaxed ground rules on alcohol etc. I think next up is Those Damn Crows at Wulfrun. 🤘🏻

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - a good set, and opening with a few tracks from the latest album worked well. I was disappointed Gallagher didn't sing on Don't Look Back in Anger, but it is special when most of the crowd can sing a whole song like that.
Picture Parlour and Primal Scream were the best of the support. Future Islands had their set cut short due to an "electrical storm," which seemed a shame given there was 1hr 20mins between main support and headliner.

Will catch picture parlour later in the week at the end of the road hopefully. Buzzing for loads of stuff there, proper eclectic line up this year

Trivium at the Vic last night - awesome gig with an atmosphere not seen in many a year - great to see a proper metal act in the City - lets hope we can attract more of this calibre.....

Cory Hanson played a stunning set in Bristol on Friday at a tiny venue. Then The Walkmen on Sunday at SWX Bristol. Great to see them again for the first time in a decade but sound was a bit muddy as it was last time I was there.
End of the Road Festival coming up this Thursday so will report back next week.

Got a new tent which is inflatable and never been out of it’s bag so should be fun 😳

Heard it was an absolute shambles trying to get off the car park. Some of my friends were stuck there for over 2 hours!

Terrorvision at the Devil's Arse in Castleton on Friday. Went due to the lady, but I have to say that they were very good and the atmosphere in the cave was great. And then The Smiths Limited at Eleven on Saturday (my choice this time ). They were excellent - the Morrissey-a-like was perfect.

I always try to avoid official parking, but it was still chaos though. Two buses parked opposite sides of the road to each other so nothing could get past. Only cost me about twenty minutes in the end but was still annoying as I had a very early start in the morning!

Would have been there myself but made the(bad?) decision to go Millwall instead.

Went to see HAIM on Sunday in London at All Points East. I'm not sure I'm the target audience but I saw them at Glasto last year and they were absolutely fantastic, so I thought fuck it I'm going. One of the best, if not the best gig I've been to for just pure unadulterated joy, which is exactly what I remember them for at Glasto.

Was there as well was fucking great Lucky bastards. I've had to come down south for work. Trivium played Oxford the night before my train and stoke the night after FFS. Saw them with Megadeth, Lamb of God and In Flames in Tucson. Tucson's not huge compared with the North Staffs area, why can't we get more heavy acts to come to town?!

Heafy was talking several times during their set about how they played Stoke 3-4 times back in 05/06 when they were first starting out, even played gunshot to the head of trepidation from Ascendancy which they would have played then as well. Was very humble about their beginnings and us as a city being part of it. Wouldn't surprise me if they specifically wanted to do a gig here as opposed to us having a natural attraction

Not music but went to see Peter Kay in Brum last night
He was brilliant, funny all the way through and a fantastic encore, me and Mrs R loved it
Next music for me is Cavalera (original Sepultura - the brothers touring doing old stuff and a new album) - playing Wolves/Manc/London 9-11th Nov.
Saw them at Liverpool in 1994, were ace then!
We are off to Manc, £26 tickets which is decent
