Friday 27 May Baddeley Green WMC, quite a number of performers who had soul/funk/R+B top 20 hits in the 70s + 80’s, organised by Randy Corwood who was in a Drifters tribute band but he’s obvs used his contacts to get Kenny Thomas, Janet Kay and Jaki Graham to appear. Tickets are £25 but all for a very good cause to help a little girl who has a brain tumour. Def a gig for people who are of a certain age who used to go clubbin’ up ‘Anley duck!!

<button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> If you like old school classic rock, this band are a must see. Been around forever without getting the exposure they deserve FM - Tough it outI've been checking out some rather obscure AOR recently and hadn't come across FM. Sounding good - I've pencilled it in! The Mercury Riots sound good too. I've just come off 6 gigs in 11 days (with more to come) so have a decision to make. A bit further afield in Bilston (about a 45 minute drive from S-o-T), I recommend Mostly Autumn on 30th May: therobin.co.uk/js_events/mostly-autmn-2/The lead guitarist is obviously a big David Gilmour fan, and I think Pink Floyd and Deep Purple fans would find something to love. That plus an occasional Celtic and folky kind of sound. An outstanding band¡ They played in Crewe regularly until The Limelight closed. |

Not one for rock fans but I went to see a northern soul 11 piece band in Wolverhampton last week, the Grand Theatre. Couldn’t believe you could sell out a venue midweek with a show of this genre, by the second half most people were dancing, great atmosphere. Tickets a tad steep IMO (£21 - £29) but the show NORTHERN LIVE is on at Crewe Lyceum towards the end of June 👍🏻👍🏻

Something a bit different at Keele Uni on 6th June, Maya Yousseff from Syria: Maya Youssef is hailed as ‘queen of the qanun,’ the 78-stringed Middle Eastern plucked zither. Maya’s intense and thoughtful music is rooted in the Arabic classical tradition but forges pathways into jazz, Western classical and flamenco styles.
And it's only just I learnt what a 'zither' is.

Has anyone seen The Hollies live? I'm not a huge fan but like a few of their tunes. I'm not sure whether to see them live in Hanley this weekend. I probably definitely would if I hadn't already been to so many gigs recently.

Saw Russell Brand tonight at Viccy Hall, very good but an odd starting time (18:00) which caught a lot of people out, we thought that was just the doors opening time? Does a blend of humour, political opinion (quite Left surprise surprise!) and references to meditation and spirituality. Started the first few minutes sitting cross legged on stage - bit weird - but at half time faced a huge queue in front of the stage as he attempted to have selfies with as many as possible.

Supergrass at The Sugarmill this Thursday? Disappointed I didn't know about that one. It's sold out of course.

Defo try to go to that one if I can convince some one to come with me. Not many I know with a penchant for live classic rock! Weirdos |

Last one at the Foxlowe someone near us was particularly flatchulent. I find that less anti social than people talking over the band though. |

I find that less anti social than people talking over the band though. Especially with my new mullet and tash combo. Unbeknownst to me I’m actually starting to look like a badger, number 1 on the sides to expose the silver and long and black on top and back! I refuse to fart in public! I have to go the bog, again not sure if that’s a badger trait or not🤔 |
