I wish I could go but the Manchester date is also my wife's birthday. She is not a fan unfortunately.

Next for me is Albert Lee tomorrow in Manchester.

Monday, Mickey Dolenz celebrates 60 years of The Monkees at the Paramount Theatre!

I never got to see Davy Jones, but I enjoyed tremendously the surviving trio several years ago at the Long Center. Then we lost Peter Tork, and I tremendously enjoyed the subsequent Mike and Mickey show at Stubb’s. Mike Nesmith passed away within months of that performance, and Mickey is the last man standing. If you get a chance to see Mickey Dolenz live, I highly recommend it. The songs and his voice are timeless, and he’s a great front man.

Got my ticket for the Bright Phoebus show...having missed the 2013 shows, I'm very excited to be in for this one.

I remember Ade Edmondson & Bad Shepherds with Maaart at Croppers.

Subsequently Maaart & Ade had a rather dramatic falling out, as I recall, although over what, I have no memory.

Came across an old notebook in which I jotted down gigs and music purchases in 1990/91 when I was living in London. One gig was You Slosh in York who I'd forgotten about but looking online I see that Troy Donockley was in the line-up who I subsequently saw with Ade Edmondson in the Bad Shepherds.

Anyone else remember them? Here's a live recording of them from back in '87

Steve Ignorant, late of Crass.

Igs?

Ha ha ha.  Well, I've seen the Sleaford Mods about 3 times, and often listen to Crass (and watch Igs) so....

David doesn't do "normal listening".

Bit out of your normal listening, isn't it?
