Here is where my view of Albert Grossman is based:

I easily have way more than 6 for this, but there is just one which immediately comes to mind. Step forward Soul Asylum Seeing them perform Somebody To Shove on The Word (90s low grade TV, not the highly […]

A huge UP for The Pirates. It is one of the best things they have done IMHO & introduced my children to Swords Of A Thousand Men in this brilliant intro (link below).

Yes @Freddy-Steady that is the one. (Although weighing up the Sheffield one too as I think they are great live). If you get tickets let me know

I can only think of a few, but for some reason they really irritate. Queen They bring out my inner music snob. When people tell me they like Queen, my head responds with ‘so you don’t like music then?’ (as I […]

This a great read. Many thanks to you @paul-hewston & @salwarpe for all of the hard work on this. I am excited to investigate some of the albums I have not heard of as I know that this parish has impeccable taste. […]

So far I have; She Drew The Gun Mercury Rev House Of All Divorce Half Man Half Biscuit Iron Maiden Very excited about the Maiden gig as I am taking my 7 year old & he can’t wait! It will be his first […]

The Pop connoisseurs may appreciate this from Carly Rae Jepsen. It’s daft, catchy and brilliant

Apologies @salwarpe & thank you for checking on this one. I must have got this record in 2024 which is how I have got muddled up. Could I add in Pillow Queens – Name Your Sorrow as it’s replacement?

In order of reading. Some I have enjoyed this year; Politics On The Edge by Rory Stewart The Great Post Office Scandal by Nick Wallis Under My Thumb (Songs That Hate Women & The Women Who Love Them) by […]

Another agreement on the Neneh Cherry book from me @locust. I have about 30 pages left of this & am loath to finish it as I am enjoying it so much. Definitely one of the better musician autobiographies, it is […]

That’s my stupid fat fingers, I did mean gig. Hope that you have a fantastic time

Unfortunately not. We have a family do this weekend so I am unable to go! 🙁 My last of 2024 is The Quivers at The Castle Hotel tonight, a venue I have never been to before so excited to see. Are you at the ig on Sat?

I have not laughed as much in 1 hour as I did seeing Spencer Jones about 8 years ago. Hoping for a Manchester date from him next year

I’ve only done 27 this year (with one more to come), but the top 10 of the year have been; 1 – Taylor Swift – Anfield, Liverpool. Sat 15th June 2 – The Blaze – Royal Albert Hall, London . Fri 26th April 3 – […]

@Clive so far it’s only your good self & me who have the correct answer in #1 😉

It’s the return of the most expensive afterword thread! I can’t wait to see what gems I discover from this one! 1 – Bill Ryder Jones – Iechyd Da 2 – Big Special – Postindustrial Hometown Blues 3 – Everything […]

I would have to agree, the first half of the album is my preference too. However, the 2nd night was worth it just for Oh Yeah, but I would loved to have seen Claudia do this. Fingers crossed for that 50 song […]

Did you do both nights of Magnetic Fields @duco01? I saw them in Manchester & agree with your 5 star assessment!
