mkowlthesexynewversion Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Just done 2 gigs in a week - and at new venues to me The Levellers at Aylesbury Waterside - actually a theatre but they take out the seats downstairs and it was terrific sound quality in there. Most middle aged former crustie audience crowd you can imagine Friday night was my old faves The Wedding Present at Northampton Roadmender - got a vibe of The Leadmill though the outside looks like some 70s local govt mistake. Next one is Mogwai at Ally Pally on Friday - never seen before and never been before. Apparently very loud and I guess not much singing along more shoe gazing head nodding I will disagree with Andyben though, live music is where its at. I can happily listen at home but like football being part of the crowd is much more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my words - my ears have not recovered. On another note did not realise it was an 18+ gig so Fin at just 16 got asked if he was 18 as we went in. To be fair to him he lied quite convincingly.

I think that is a Seamonsters album gig - same as the Northampton one the other day. They basically played that album in order in full without stopping for breath, then 2nd half was more a general playlist. As he mentioned he now as over 300 songs in the back catalogue to choose from and what I like is they will dig right thru that not just play the usual songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes up 200 acres of the former RAF Winthorpe Airfield." There's an aircraft preservation site there, too. In 2019 you had to drive past a Vulcan bomber to get out and they flew an old wartime DC3 'Dakota' around the music crowd on the Saturday afternoon. Last year it was a WW2 fighter. I don't know about the antiques but there's plenty of room and buildings for one: it's huge. I think there's a livestock show, too. I live 8 miles away from there.......

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 So Mogwai last night at Ally Pally. Incredible playing and sound but a bit lacking in a gig atmosphere that I would ordinarily prefer. I mean you aren't going to go for a sing a long with em, lots of head nodding along is about the level of audience participation. Blokes just stood around playing guitars well but miserable fuckers at the same time Could have been worse though, train back out of London had a few with David Gray t shirts on, where it was apparently £120 a ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was my conclusion Can't fault the muscianship and the sound they created, but it was a bit passive in terms of audience participation Tbf the crowd there who were loyal fans were more than happy with it, I think having seen a couple of bands in the preceding 2 weeks I know which I prefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
