Briefly the best live band in the land, too….

What sort of trees do Richard Butler and his band have at Christmas?
Psychedelic Firs. -

Well worth the ticket, steve. AK is bang on the money and her sunglasses after dark chimed nicely with Richard and brother Tim’s.

Venue:
Brighton Dome
Date: 04/10/2019Rather than being lost in music at gigs these days, I often find myself asking ‘How can they afford to be playing?’ and this was certainly the case with PF support act […]

When one thinks of Chicory Tip, the mighty Chicory Tip, purveyors of indecipherable lyrics and Giorgio Moroder early workings, the promenade at Southsea isn’t the first location that comes to mind.

Yep, almost as good a double bill as Rio Speedwagon and Zed Zed Top.

I’d take part in this conversation but I’m too busy getting my tickets for the tour by the reformed Soul Eleven Soul.

Nick Drake was a county level sprinter as a schoolboy. Might’ve just toe-punted the ball, mind.

You’re right on all fronts. I suspect some tosh like That’s Livin’ Alright would win, if there were a poll.

That’s the second verse.
The mighty Ronnie Hazlehurst took this concept to another realm with Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em, in which the title was spelt out via morse code. -

I went to a Mick Houghton book talk hosted by Ben Thompson, and with a top notch guest appearance by David Balfe, and I think there’s a Hepworth podcast or some such with MH. And now there’s this report of an […]

Oh, it’s a cracker. The first thing I heard by The Distractions was their lovely cover of ‘Boys Cry’ on Mike Read’s evening show. Not a good looking bunch, which probably didn’t help.
