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!

Going backwards Deary at Yes (Basement), Manchester 24th Nov. I have loved both EPs by this band & thought they were great. Excited for an album now Khruangbin at Apollo, Manchester 18th Nov. Comfortably the […]

New track Born At Dawn & Dead At Sunset is fantastic

Years ago I saw Arcade Fire at the Apollo in Manchester & the sound was awful. I was also sat behind the sounddesk & the person mixing was in full on panic mode! We could see them constantly trying to get it right […]

I was at this too @deckards & agree wholly with your review. A cracking gig & they did a superb job of making the arena have an atmosphere, something that a lot artists fail to do. Jubilee Street & Tupelo were […]

YES! This exactly! I would also pick another Cropper solo with For Your Precious Love by Otis Redding. It is the purest, most beautiful guitar sound ever achieved IMHO

You absolute beauty! Thank you very kindly @fentonsteve This has been in my basket/wishlist thing for an age, but always been a touch too steep. This is now duly ordered (with the magically appearing voucher) & […]

I like this a lot. The intro could be a touch shorter, but the pay off of that voice makes it all worthwhile. Looking forward to the album as I enjoyed the last one, despite feeling like I was in the minority on that front.

I just had a quick search to see if anyone had flagged there was a new Kate Pierson album out called Radios & Rainbows. I cannot see there is, but saw this from @Mousey so thought I would add as a comment rather […]

Much obliged, thank you very much – that is this weekends listening sorted 🙂

I have always lazily pigeonholed/dismissed them as ‘that band who did the tune with Vic Reeves’ I need to investigate further as this is a fantastic tune. Which album would you recommend as a starting point @Leedsboy ?

Delays were a fantastic band & their track Hideaway from the follow up to Faded Seaside Glamour is also worth a listen. It comes up on shuffle every now & then leading to a 4 minute ‘tea break’ for a proper […]

All books have been taken so I will get them sent out asap. I am trying to slim down my library, so will likely have a few more on offer in the next couple of weeks so will post here. Hope everyone has a top day

These books are still available; Will Sergeant – Bunnyman (Hardback) – your man from Echo & The Bunnymen Will Sergeant – Echoes (Hardback) – as above (book 2 of his autobio series) Dylan Jones – Shiny & N […]

St Swithins Day as per the OP was my instinctive thought. Although I can never decide which version I like best, BB, Dubstar or Norma! April 5th by Talk Talk is the next one I can bring to mind, think I will […]
