A mate of mine is a big fan, and he got us tickets to see them a few years ago. As you point out, @seanioio, the audience is incredibly into it – I don’t think I’ve seen a more passionate fanbase.

@seanioio Yes . “I think I like it but it isn’t sitting right” Extremely well put.

Wow. The Afghan Elvis was quite a discovery @seanioio.

I will @seanioio. I saw them at the White Hotel last year (year before the year before ?) . V strange little venue. To be honest, i only went to see Steve Hanley.

I’m think of going to the House of All one @seanioio if it’s the one in Manchester in March. Couple of mates are going and it’s near my birthday.

@seanioio It was a very good gig though the sound was a bit muddy and there were quite a few knobheads who had surely been on the Colombian Marching Powder. It was a sell out , possibly an over-sell out. […]

Hi @seanioio. Checking the dates of albums, it looks like Almost Nothing – Almost Nothing was released in 2023.

@seanioio I wanted to see that Gruff/Ryder-Jones gig but it clashed. How was it?

I’d imagine you might be going to see the Chameleons this Saturday @seanioio?

Thanks @seanioio – I’d forgotten all about this post! Will check out the new album

The more I listen to it the more I like it. Thanks @seanioio for the tip in January. The same goes for Big Big Train. Also liking the Elbow album and the new Villagers (of course) What I’ve heard of the new […]

Great tip. It sounds very promising, @seanioio. I was very surprised by that first track. He’s sampling the late, great Gal Costa’s song Baby. Not the first thing I expect to hear on an album with a Welsh […]

Thanks a bunch, @seanioio. I’d just made a quiet resolution with myself that maybe this year I’d cut back on the music purchases, especially new (to me), unfamiliar artists. Maybe stick to the artists I already […]

Thank you, @seanioio – I’ve been planning to do a book thread for 2023 for weeks, but I’ve been too stressed and busy to get on with it…and now I can relax! 🙂 In fact, I’ll have to return to this thread in […]

Obviously I’ve heard of Sister Rosetta Thorpe but never heard her play. That was superb @seanioio. I think further investigation is merited.

Fair enough @seanioio My partner doesn’t like the Fall OR the Chameleons. Her loss!

@seanioio That’s been going on for years though. I remember Terry Scott being hailed as a “comic genius” When he died, and that was back in the late 80s/early 90s

I’ve ordered the Rob Burley book @seanioio based on your description.

Have you managed to listen to their back catalogue @seanioio?

Top gig going @seanioio. Saw Duke Special in 2009 in Derby and Thomas Truax supported, but I think you’d remember him. I also saw him in 2007 at The Bodega (probably still called The Social back then) in N […]
