Wollongong Owl Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Hi Epworth saw them at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham thought they lacked the energy from their Sydney show but that was early in their tour and Neil Finn caught covid not long after Sydney as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Saw your pics on FB - didn't look a huge crowd from that or indeed this. Could be misleading of course but I do wonder if there are now too many events compared to demand Any consolation there seems to have been a lot of negativity about the Guns N roses gigs at the Tottingham stadium Funniest bit round here is that a National Trust place near Aylesbury as had a few gigs on, Tears for Fears tonight at 75 quid a pop (no thanks) but a riot was nearly caused at a Michael Bubble concert the other night as the organisation was appalling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Saturday night was Elbow at the Scarborough open air theatre. Not a bad venue despite the Ticket master app not working and having to go to the box office to get the tickets. Certainly helped the sun was shining, must be a different vibe with a sea fret or it pissing it down. Most of the tickets are in the seats which I am not really used to, but suited this crowd. Elbow did what Elbow do, singalong stuff and Guy Garvey is a good laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in loads to my lads amazement in last year. Know what you mean about the music being a back drop. Been to some gigs with people chatting and spending more time going to the bar. Its generally the older concert goers rather than the young uns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is my preference - this venue was just on the tick list to do and Elbow were the safe choice for us Could be worse Simply Red are on soon 🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpworthOwl Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 I know it's not exactly a "gig", but Mrs Eppers and I went to London to see "Tina" at the Aldwych theatre last weekend, it was fantastic, the story was close to the truth (if the recent documentary was the truth), and the 3 girls who played Tina Turner were great singers with such powerful voices. I would recommend if anyone is thinking of going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Scarborough open air theatre has always had the feeling of it being like watching a band play at the Lyceum. It's ok for shows like Michael Ball. I've been to a few last night of the proms type shows there and found you need a yard or two of ale to make it enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Cheat’s only 4ft 10’ or so, and usually doesn’t see much at standing gigs. She had a nice view till a 6ft odd bloke stood right in front of her about five minutes before RH came on.

EpworthOwl Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 In a year of catching up after covid and massively eclectic music, we went to see Russell Watson on Saturday at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. What a voice that man has! Incredible. A mix of West End music and arias from his early albums. It was a picnic gig with a nice bottle of Cremant and a picnic part of Mrs Eppers Christmas present from last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpworthOwl Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 I thought they were pretty good. One of the better bands. They were first up as they had to get down south to another gig and cut the set short by 1 song. But I really enjoyed them. 20220826_174151.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 The Enemy last night at O2 plus a very lengthy support from Little Man Tate. Don't know many Enemy tracks but thought they were great. Very loud and very much influenced by The Jam. Sound awful as usual though at the O2. We really need another medium size venue in the City.

Owling_Wolf Posted Monday at 00:58 Share Posted Monday at 00:58 I've booked to see these next Autumn in Manchester. Sort of me putting two fingers up to all the shit going on - Putin, widespread financial misery, Covid & other fun diseases and world changing weather - and saying I'll still be here and carrying on, if it's owt to do with me. Two 'Southern Laydees with music coming out of every pore: blues, rock n roll, roots, Americana, hints of bluegrass and country. All with instrumental dexterity and am amazing voice when she lets rip with it. Talented sisters. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys 12th Pint Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Great 8 days of Gigs. Red Rum Club last Friday in Liverpool, Kasabian at O2 on Monday night and over to Manc Land tonight for the long awaited return of The Saw Doctors, possibly my favourite ever live band. Only downside I have the lurgee so no sure what my bouncing will be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
