PM me and we'll sort something out !

Welcome you ;little lurker!
I reckon this might have been one of VGs attendances - I'll leave him to elucidate.
It has of course been recorded and stored in a huge database!

Are we still planning to go ahead with this or are we going to be careful with the Covid concerns. I’ve had my booster so I feel safe enough ( even with plague ridden Markinson coming ) just wondered how everyone else is feeling about meeting up ?

Anybody know what make of guitar that is ? Logo on headstock looks vaguely like the National one but it ain't a resonator :? It appears to me to be a 1940's National OO. National contracted w/ Gibson to produce guitars bearing the National logo for a time. I suspect this is one . Great knowledge ex...

The consensus amongst a few of us is how random the allocation of tickets has been . I spread the purchase of my tickets between presale, general availability and the kindness of friends who had privileges with certain theatres and generally the best seats seemed to be available today in the general...

I am worried this is going to bankrupt Sulky. Hahaha - I’m not really laughing . However due to some unfortunate circumstances at work, I’m picking up a few extra days ( hopefully) which should cover one gig per day allowing for 2 tickets for Christmas. Having a son based in Manchester and friends ...

I'm new to this site and I just saw this thread - had no idea they were this vigilant! I'm taken aback because I saw his show at Summerstage in Central Park a few years ago when he was revisiting Imperial Bedroom , and I was very nearly at the very front of the audience. (I remember thinking throug...

Have I been in a coma?

I know we're about 50 years behind the US but I didn't know it was 50 years and 2 months !

Quiz night on BBC2 had 2 Elvis references last night! Only Connect (the best quiz ever) had Attraction on a wall along with Banshee, Supreme and Shadow - singular backing bands. University Challenge had Stiff releases in a music round - they correctly got Elvis Costello but failed to identify Nick ...

BA (and everyone else), it is me, Stricttime 81 (aka Mike the Lawyer). I lost my account information a while back and had to open a new account. So, this is me now - Newspaper Pane. Cheers. Welcome back Mike. Always interested to hear if you saw any shows and your impressions ? :D I saw five shows ...

I think the air fare to NY is still marginally cheaper than the postage, BA

I thought the sound system at Ronnie Scott’s wasn’t set up great- we were under a speaker and it distorted the louder, faster songs but the slower Paint The Red Rose Blue sounded glorious. I also thought Davey’s bass in the louder songs was fluid and rhythmic throughout - it might be his best perfor...

I think that’s the future King of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, isn’t it

Been a marvellous afternoon seeing everyone, huge thanks to VG for picking me from a choice of many as his “blind date”

Second marriages are always the best

Apparently a two song set with The Imposters, PIU and OK Farewell according to some well informed sources

My tickets have gone to ExtremeHoney, hopefully it will all work out.

If the Magnificent Hurt 7" is available I hope my name is on one of them!

We'll grab something for you, whatever happens, promise !

Yes I confused him with Neil Spencer. That said, agree that McCormick is an excellent journalist. Stand by my comment abou...

Nice to see them looking glad to be in each other’s company!!
