Yep, that's right.

Two Tim's did North Country Boy together tonight at Wembley 

Got myself a free ticket for James and Charlatans tomorrow from a mate who’s missus is ill, can’t wait!

No trains into Manchester from where we live! Taxi companies playing hardball - none of them want to drive into the city!

Not surprised. I did that same journey myself last Saturday evening : awful, mate.

The cab would be out of service for far longer than the fare is worth.

more freebies!!!

 

Def Leppard tonight, turned down Josh Grogan tomorrow

Paul Heaton doing stockports ground next year, fancy that

Def Leppard were amazing. Not a big fan, but played Hysteria in full. Sounded really polished, a bit too perfect at times... Encore was out of this world, a little 'edgier' if you will, in that it was a little heavier.

 

Some absolute rock party tunes, and When Love & Hate Collide took me back to being a lovestruck pubescent teen-ager with anger issues... Beautiful!

 

Never thought I'd see Gareth Gates perform Unchained Melody and Def Leppard smash Let's Get Rocked on consecutive nights!!!

 

 

Oh yeah, panto is mint this year; if a little Corrie centric

Never got around to saying how disappointing I thought James were. Or rather how disappointing the set list was. 

Full tour next year to promote the new album and play random old songs for the die hards. Make sense.

Felt like a gig at the Arena just before Xmas with a mixture of both James & Charlatans fans - more of a greatest hits set with a couple of catchy newer ones was in order.

Things seemed to meander along. Watched folk around me looking both clueless and bored. Missed some classics. And was lucky to squeeze in Sometimes at the end - past the curfew. Presume they get fined. Would have been a shocker to have not ended with it. 

No doubt Mr Hunt will have other views (but may get where I’m coming from).

I ain't starting a new thread so this video tweet of one of little mix that's doing the rounds can go in this thread

Had a listen - think they were on before Xmas. They've done a video for both.

Couple more songs off Ian Brown's new album doing the rounds. Any news of a tour?????

Academy, usually a belter of a gig. 

Preordered the new Ian Brown album from Piccadilly Records and got a wristband to go to the signing session with IB on 1st Feb, brilliant as I am already off work that day. 

Phew that's a lineup
