Mark Radcliffe did a similar thing at the Cromer Festival. Extremely entertaining and vey much enjoyed by all four of us who turned up for it.
Felt rather embarrassed for him, but he took it in his stride with his usual self depreciating humour.

What more could you want!! See you Thursday

Off to Beardy tomorrow in our half-finished new Campervan. Bed, Fridge, cooker and awning will have to cover it.

Acts will include Elles Bailey, the Peatbog Faeries and An Audience with Mark Radcliffe, so I have a feeling it'll be a good one.

Sounds idyllic, but probably not the best paid gig.

Lucky you do it for love of the music, eh?

Have fun folks, it sounds so great…wish we weren’t so far away!

It’s festival season again https://skirky.blogspot.com/2026/06/studio-tan.html

Human League / Soft Cell / Alison Moyet, tonight, at the “Texas Trust CU Theatre” in Grand Prairie, Texas!

I’ve been a huge HL fan since high school, but this is my first opportunity to see them live. I probably know every word to every song on “Dare!” “Tainted Love” is the only SC song I know, but looking forward to hearing it, and I only vaguely remember Alison Moyet from the heyday of MTV.

I have always liked this venue, which is located adjacent to Lone Star Park, a horse racing course. It’s been there for over 20 years. My concert DB tells me I’ve attended the following shows there: John Fogerty, Steely Dan, the briefly reunited James Gang, Spinal Tap, The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary, Don Felder, (fake) Foreigner, Styx, Deep Purple, Brian Wilson’s Pet Sounds, and even Eagles! The only show I left early was Foreigner, when I realized Mick Jones wasn’t on stage. I found out later that he came out after three or four songs.
