I should quickly add, that isn’t my behaviour……just my experience from live gigs since the millenium.

Why don’t more acts do this? Probably because too many of the crowd become distracted/drunk while waiting for the songs they know?

@dai I’m slightly disappointed by their choice of venue. It’s been great watching them in the smaller halls like the Forum and Troxy. RAH will lack a bit of atmosphere and be distinctly pricier.

@Colin_H sadly even more languid now as he is the late Steve Donnelly. He was certainly capable of shredding a bit as I saw him do so in many a pub gig. Just think it was what Nick asked him to do. Mr Lowe has […]

@Guiri oddly one of the few changes is taking off the trombone on the eponymous track. Preferred the EP version myself.

@Dai I’ve often considered attending TIFF. Is it straightforward for the public to get tickets for the films or do you need to be a member of the Press or such like. And were these bands part of TIFF or just c […]

This is such a lovely thread that almost makes me wish the “Thumbs Up” option was available (please note I am neither Hepworth or Ellen)

Reading elsewhere that Noel has insisted on his High Flying Birds band I guess there will be a press conference soon where all will be revealed!

Colin, singalongs are OK. And that will be the thing at the Oasis gigs.

On a related line, a friend of mine a.ways answers his mobile with a chirpy “Hello, who’s calling The Golden Shot?”

Trump will now doubt refer to the MMHM as “overrated, lacking in talent”

Naughty!

Or he did at least. Still innocent till proven guilty and the same HR protocol that Fortune Eight covered would still apply.

I like them and have also enjoyed them live. I do find them a bit “same” though after a few tracks. Wish they would change the style a little.

@retropath2 He really is a nice guy. He often turned up on the folky “jam night” at Weavers Arms during the 90s. Often with his pal Andrew Cronshaw. BUT I don’t remember him ever being named onstage. Even after […]

I saw a clip of her on one of the daily reviews. It must have been filmed.

@Clive they are whipping through their material at 100 mph

@Jaygee maybe it was because they were new songs but he was staring at an iPad on Jools’ later last week. Thought I read someone on here mention it in a live gig as well?

I believe Richard Hawley does the same these days.
