Upcoming gigs

Grrrrr.  Thankfully, I've just discovered that Pat Morgan of Datblygu pulled out yesterday of her support at tomorrow's Gwenno gig at Bedford Esquire (not sure about the rest of the tour).  As a result I don't have to drive for 7 hours and can get the money back on my hotel.

But if anybody fancies a dirt cheap ticket for Gwenno (she's playing two sets instead) drop me a line.

Ian McNabb tonight, Haircut 100 tomorrow and Sparko from Dr. Feelgood on Sunday.  Old school weekend.

Let me know how McNabb goes. Last time a friend saw him he spent half the time tuning his twelve-string and the other half getting the audience to sing the choruses.

I saw him on the 17th April at the West End Center Aldershot.  The name seemed familiar when i saw it in the Westie program but I didn't really know any thing about him or the band he had been in. There was some chat and some tuning, though neither seemed to be longer than other people i have seen at the same venue.  I had no expectations before hand, and enjoyed the evening.  Some of the songs did seem the same, mainly in the way the songs were sung/phrased. If he does come back to the Westie in the future i would most likely buy another ticket.

Not sure how long ago this was but generally he seems a lot less 'down in his cups' than he was a decade or so ago....

Anybody want a spare ticket for the Super Furry Animals in Llandudno tomorrow (Fri)?

For London-based Tír na nÓg fans...

We were considering going to see Thomas Dolby at the Sub Rooms, Stroud, on Friday.

Frankly, £38.50 a head seems expensive for someone very popular 40 years ago.

I think we may take out our daughter and granddaughter for a slap-up meal instead.

Go for a curry, then you’ll still hear ‘Windpower’ ….

We saw him last year, and he was great.  Plays very big venues in the US.  In the current market place, personally I think that's a below averagely priced ticket.

TBF £40 won’t get you much of a slap up meal these days either.

£80 might.

I'll be intrigued to know what you think, Paul.  To my ears there's one weak link in that chain, and try as I might I just can't quite get beyond it.

Art Garfunkel tour alert!

After years away, AG is touring in 2026, across the US and UK. Unfortunately, I have a conflict in June when he plays in my backyard (San Antonio). However, I may plot to see him in Chicago before thanksgiving, and maybe squeeze in a trip to the new Obama Presidential Library and a football game while I’m there!

I'm intrigued as to how his voice is holding up, at 84.

Very badly from recent clips I've seen.  If you think Paul is struggling (which I really don't) then stay well away would be my advice.

[Alan2]

Maddy Prior in a week or 2.

Can't pass up  this one as  it is half a minute from  my  door,  and i've always liked Maddy and Steeleye.  Apart from the band i last saw her 80s or 90s with Rick Kemp.

I don't think Macca is "struggling", I think his voice is exactly what you'd expect for a man of his age.

Is David talking about Paul Simon or Paul McCartney?
