I've got Fairport in Leamington on Sunday, then it was supposed to be Yes at the end of the month, but it's been postponed.
Jethro Tull in May. I notice my local venue has Steeleye Span and a version of Lindisfarne later this year (Last time I saw them it was with the Strawbs supporting them at Birmingham Symphony Hall. |

Some weeks ago someone sent me a message on FB with a link to a Soft Machine gig in Coventry, at the Albany Club in Earlsdon, about a 10 minute walk from where I live. So I thought it would be rude not to go.
Venue was very busy, with not enough tables/chairs out, and after a bit of chaos the organiser admitted he'd never been so busy and this was the best turnout for the Jazz Club he'd ever seen. They were excellent, playing a lot of new stuff and some classics, including Facelift, Joy of Toy, and Hazard Profile. |

Alchemy-Dire Straits Live (1983).
I know some people will scoff at this, but it was a major soundtrack of my sixth form years, in the eighties and I haven’t heard it for years. I am right back there with all the friendship, love, joy and of course, angst! So nostalgic and whatever your views on the music I think it is a brilliant live album and those versions are THE versions for me. |

The Sailors Life on the Unconventional boxset was the ragged jewel of that crown. Originally, it was reputted as being the first performance, but I recall there was some argument to the contrary. Either way, it was quite a find.
Does any here have any knowledge of the rest of the show? Has it ever been in cuirculation. I'm not (necessarily) interested in getting a copy - I'm just curious about it. Set list and other highlights? Its the only audience recording I know about prior to the Full House tour....that I can recall. |

Next generation Gong were ok and very proficient, but for me, did not compare favourably with the 'classic' 70s incarnations in spirit. Not seen Henge but my mates adore them. "Ok and very proficient" is about as far as I'll go too, I'm afraid. I like Kavus's other work, so it's not that. Personally, it's just not Gong-like enough to be Gong. For me.... |

Went to see Gong + Henge in Liverpool on Saturday. I didn't enjoy Henge so much, but I was definitely in the minority. Gong on the other hand were phenomenal. My mate has previously asked me to go see them a few times but I'm not much of a fan having only listened to Flying Teapot, and although I like it I've never felt the need to investigate further. He recently suggested some songs by the current incarnation plus Master Builder from You and I was converted. The new album (Bright Spirit) is very good, but admittedly I'm approaching with very few preconceptions so if you're a fan of a previous era of the band your viewpoint might be different. Saw this pairing recently in Bristol. Agree that Henge was the weaker of the two, but the young folks seemed to reall like them. Next generation Gong were ok and very proficient, but for me, did not compare favourably with the 'classic' 70s incarnations in spirit. |

Not exactly a gig
The stage version of I Daniel Blake, at Northern Stage. Different from the film but just as heartbreaking. |
