Jalen Ngonda at Band on the Wall, rearranged from April (from a Satdee to a Sundee ☹️) I won't see many better gigs this year. Incredible voice and musicianship, funny and charasmatic with it as well.
Slightly spoiled by the lad in front incessantly tilting his head from left to right, causing me to do the same. Keep fucking still, man. Like being stood behind Paul McCartney on full wobble mode. Couldn't really change where I was stood as it was sold out. Minor annoyance though.

Gary Numan last night at O2 institute Birmingham. Played his first 2 albums , replicas and pleaure principle. Definitely for the hardened fan base. A mix of synth stuff with some heavy guitar stuff which was very good. Sounded epic though, but the venue, which i had never been to before, was absolutely wank. Standing to the right of the stage meant you couldnt see anything as for some of the set he was towards the rear of the stage playing keyboard. Think my biggest concern was that the place was uncomfortably full, to the point fire exits were opened to let some welcome air in. Definitely felt like a venue where people exceed capacity. Im sure we have better derelict buildings in stoke than that. Anyway to sum up, music excellent, venue abysmal, beers decent. Next up Pink at Spurs Stadium (my ladies xmas present), wish me luck. Me and my lad went too, a must go for the Numan fans especially if you are familiar with his first couple of albums, agree about the venue, I suppose that they were allowing pay on the door didn't help, I wasn't too impressed with him not having any support acts either and only the one encore consisting of 2 songs. He did sound good though. "The The" is next gig I have planned although I might nip over to Cannock Chase to watch Johnny Marr on the 28th June. Gouranga.

Eagles and the Doobie Brothers last night. Utterly brilliant 👏 Yes the Eagles have one of my favourite back catalogues in popular music history and their performance standards are exemplary so there’s not a lot that can go wrong! A couple of minor downers: I was a little disappointed that the setlist was pretty much exactly the same as when I saw them 2 years ago. I’m resigned to never seeing them play The Last Resort. Glen Frey’s son and Vince Gill do sing lead on rather too many of the songs, which does give it a little bit of a feel of a tribute band. My first visit to Co-Op Live. It was fine but ultimately just another big box with a lot of seats in it. Bit worried about the queues for the trams back into Manchester afterwards but made a quick dash for it and was away in 20 minutes.

I did say I wouldn't go to see them after Frey passed away (last saw them at Liverpool arena on the History Tour which was fabulous) but I got tempted by the "last time ever" thing. I agree with you, Henley could have taken more vocals, Schmidt only did one rather than his usual two. Did you hear the rumours about Henley singing to tapes? Pretty sure he wasn't. My first time ever for the Doobies(another thing that swayed me into going) and they were magnificent I thought, Mike McDonald absolutely immense. Took us longer to get out and we queued for about an hour for the tram but once on the journey back to the Hotel at Old Trafford was seamless.

A quick mention for Thea Gilmore who was supporting Richard Hawley at Manchester Apollo last night.
Just her with an acoustic guitar, a superb vocal performance. Crystal clear voice, powerful, lovely tone. Wonderful.
And she could communicate properly with the audience between songs. Surprisingly few artists can do that well. Richard Hawley certainly couldn’t!

Yes it’s on a whole different level apparently. Just picked up my 2 children from Liverpool this morning and they are still buzzing. My elder daughter got married in Liverpool last year and their special song at their wedding was Mine by Taylor Swift and unbelievably she played it as one of the 2 surprise songs last night!

She even got the crowd into a frenzy by flying over the stadium in a helicopter whilst Paramore were playing. I’m currently on a train from Crewe to Euston and Crewe station is already rammed with Swifties waiting on platform 11 for the train to Liverpool

Was at Old Trafford last night for the first gig of the Foo Fighters UK tour. One of the best live rock and roll bands on the planet. Considering Dave Grohl has lived a life, his voice for a 55 year old is still incredible. Great atmosphere as well despite the best efforts of the Manchester weather to piss all over everyone.

The surprise song thing she does has taken on a life of its own. My eldest has an app and records them And tries to predict what she'll play lol. Nice to see them so enthusiastic and I've just had my trainers adorned with bloody friendship bracelets and stickers. In for a penny next Friday though and hopefully London has more clement weather than Lpool has had .

Was at the Wharf Chambers in Leeds again last night. Straight out of work, got changed on the train to Leeds, pissing down in the city centre as I ran round to the gig. Great line up, four bands for £10, over 4 hours. It was essentially industrial-strength / ethereal goth last night. Hexham Heads was haunting, ritualistic stuff, with two goth priestesses from Hawthonn, a band I like very much, featuring. Knifedoutofexistence was quite experimental, not my cup of tea but skilled performer and went down well with the crowd. Cromlech were superb - industrial gothic, driving, doom-laden, loud. Last act was Andrew Nolan - very heavy electroacoustic dub, a great end to the night as we'd all had loads of cider by then so everyone got up and threw themselves about a bit. The perfect antidote to a week spent schlepping in the supermarket.
