Going watching John Bramwell in Lancaster on Friday night.

Aye, he's on at the Grand.
Surprised it's still on tbh, lots of unsold seats.

Lenny Kravitz is doing a European tour this summer for his new album

no dates in the UK

is this because we've left the EU or something?

Its been hapening for a while - Ministry cancelled a couple of years ago because of this and other bands have come out and said because of the extra visa etc it does make playing the UK more difficult so some can't be doing it because of the costs, others because of the headache. Same for touring for UK theatre companies in Europe, what was once very simple is no longer so booking on smaller budgets is a real problem.

Not sure it this is Old Lenny's reason but I'd say that is the one Brexit Benefit I've heard of.

Wedding Present tonight.
 

Watusi.
 

I’m undecided as it’s not one of my favourites

Bought tickets for Monster Magnet at the Ritz, Bob Vylan at the Academy and SiM at the Hop And Grape this week.

Added to VOLA and Pitchshifter means November is going to be a very expensive month.

I had tickets, although it only seems like yesterday for Watusi 20 or whatever.

HOWEVER, The Cribs are doing their first 2 albums in a one off show in Liverpool.

It’s my least favourite of all their stuff. Lad I usually go with is off on his holidays so decision made. Can’t be arsed  

Bizarro 35 later this year. 
 

Fuck, we’re old.

I've still got the T from Bizarro 20!

They haven’t made it down here for Watusi but in for Exeter in October.

Saw the Bizarro tour in 89. They played the Palace Theatre on Union Street which should be the best venue in SW but police shut it down during rave years and it’s a rotting shell now.

Fly out to Prague in the morning for the next Springsteen concert. However, as last nights Marseille concert was cancelled due to vocal problems, I have a feeling it will be sightseeing mainly.

Went to see Billy Ocean and various other 80s/90s acts at a park in Leyland, pretty great even in the pissing rain

Red Lights Spells Danger is one of the bests songs of all time.

Next Tuesday I'll be at the Grand Ole Opry for Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina, Kip Moore and Russell Dickerson.

CMA Fest starts on the Thursday. Buzzing for it

Off to watch Foo's in a few weeks at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, any tips on parking as is a Thursday night so trains not a option?

yourparkingspace.co.uk and look for Trafford House or Stretford Tesco

Best one for getting away is at the fake Old Trafford but I wouldn’t expect any of us to be servicing their debt

You’ve just reminded me I was throwing shapes out to this in Dobbies last Saturday. Average age on the dance floor was probably about 68. Was fucking ace.
