Blackbeard's Tea Party on Saturday, and Sound of the Sirens the next Friday.
I have also just booked to see The Unthanks in Bude, closing out the Literary Festival there.
I currently have 12 acts I'd like to see or have already booked for in the next 12 weeks. The problem is deciding which ones NOT to go to!

Just booked - The Guess Who (Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, together again) at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, August!
I've seen them separately, but never together, and never as "The Guess Who." I bought the Meet-and-Greet so I can personally express my gratitude to my neighbors to the north!

Seems about 5 minutes since you were going to the last Exeter 5-piece gig! |

Next Folkscape gig is Gilmore & Roberts on the 8th of April. It's their 20th anniversary this year and they've a new album of re-recordings of old songs coming out next month.
As for an actual gig Harp & A Monkey are playing an afternoon gig at the Met in Bury on April the 4th.
Also might be tempted to go through to Settle to see one or more of Mikey Kenney, Gigspanner Big Band and Martin Stephenson who are all playing there between the 3rd and 9th April.

Tonight, a Genesis tribute band at the Pavilion, Llandrindrod Wells.
They're called "The Watch" I believe.

Not really what we expected, an hour of Genesis tunes, a break, then an hour including their own songs, with excessive noodling. The singer and founder of the band, Simone Rossetti, has a disconcerting habit of marching off the stage if he isn't singing at that point, like a coke fiend eager for a line. He has two mikes, one at the rear of the stage and one at the front and alternates between them without any visible reason. His current band consists of Francesco Vaccarezza on drums, Andrea Giustiniani on lead guitars, Valerio De Vittorio on keyboards, synthesisers & Rossetti's son, Mattia, on bass, guitars and backing vocals. All extremely competent with Andrea Giustiniani outstanding at times. Wendy and I would have preferred both halves to be all Genesis songs, we both saw them in the 70s and have happy musical memories. Try as I might to be fair and even-handed, I can't recommend The Watch. |

For the past few years I've been to see Soft Machine at Band on the Wall but this year's data coincides with us having a few days in Ambleside. I had a look at the tour dates and coincidentally they are playing Zeffirellis in Ambleside when we are there. My wide firmly declined to accompany me but my 16 year old daughter said she'd come along. I've given her the option of leaving early if she isn't enjoying it but she's already said she'd stay until the end. We'll see... Also going seeing Hejira, the Joni Mitchel tribute, at BotW on Friday (my birthday ). At least I hope I am - I've dropped enough hints to my wife that it would make a good birthday present! |

She's always fantastic - love Kristin Also going seeing Hejira, the Joni Mitchel tribute, at BotW on Friday (my birthday ). At least I hope I am - I've dropped enough hints to my wife that it would make a good birthday present! I thought about getting tickets for this too - Hejira is hands-down my favourite Joni album. Enjoy your birthday! |

Just announced - the two-day Crossroad Guitar Festival, for the first time hosted by my city at the Moody Center, late September!
Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend (!), and a host of luminaries. Can’t wait, and will try to attend both days.
