Let us know what it's like. Got my ticket for TW Forum on the 18 August. Flying solo as noone wants to come with me. Never done that before.

I go to gigs on my own quite a lot. Billy nomates. Couldn’t give the free plus one away. It’s a bit grim when you arrive 45 mins before the first act and you can’t even have a proper drink cos driving.

I'm old. I'll go straight in, have a wee and then turn tmright and occupy the end of the bar. It's not like you talk a lot to people at gigs anyway is it 👍

True, but more cus I'm grumpy....don't think it's an age thing. :)
I bet I'm the same age if not older then you?
 
Just back. First time I've seen Bob Vylan live. You can get the idea from Youtube, but he's got a phenomenal stage presence. Great gig. I don't think I twigged that It was the first gig of the tour - they've done a couple of festivals, but nothing like that - they were as excited about proper gigging again as the audience were - I think it was everyone's first gig back.

All over at 10.25 - I could have got the last train home and not driven. :facepalm:

Have fun when you go, Kali, ddraig etc.
 
Vylan was excellent in Manchester, as mx wcfc says you could tell he was proper stoked to be on stage again, just a proper fantastic night. Witch Fever also much, much better live than they are on record fwiw, if anyone's going to the gigs with them as support. They'd done the sensible thing and upgraded it from the basement to the big room rather than just having a smaller number of people in the basement and leaving the big room empty, which was the original plan for some odd reason. Oh, and my mate was able to get in on my ticket without having to produce the scratchcard they'd bought for the occasion, can't guarantee it'll be the same elsewhere but I reckon it's probably quite likely.

We’re off to see Shonen Knife in October. Mrs SFM is especially thrilled as they’re one of her faves. I’m really chuffed that I was kissed by all three of them when going to see them on my birthday years ago. They were lovely and very pleased to hear that I’d seen them 20 years before when they were touring with Nirvana. 😎
 
My first gig in eighteen months has just been cancelled, cos one of them has covid. A bit of me is relieved cos a sold out leadmill would be rammed and I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet.

Totally get your ambivalence.

I'm off to see Bob Vylan tonight first gig for.....at least 18 months. It will be packed.
I'm also back to work next week, which imo is just as risky as being at a gig if not more so...? I'll be wearing a mask inside the venue.

Cheers for the heads-up - from having a look, it seems like they're only playing Bristol in October, but then coming back and playing lots of non-Bristol places in April (or maybe they won't be if the whole world's been shut down by the omega variant by then, who knows?)

Ah, have fun! I imagine that you can still probably have a relatively safe experience if you stand at the back?

Thank you :)
I'll be at the left hand side of the sound person- best spot. The Exchange - where Bob Vylan is playing in Bristol tonight is shaped like a water bag with a spout, which is the entrance. So at the back is crap for seeing anything.....but they have been doing work on the venue so maybe it has a better entrance. We'll see.
 
I’m considering going to see Public Service Broadcasting in late October, there are a few gigs at the Uni which I’ve not been up to yet, but won’t book a ticket just yet.

I'm off tonight.

I hear Fever Witch are pretty special too. Have four tickets but the other three have bailed for various reasons. I shall go and sit on the train wondering why I have no friends and then come out of the gig euphoric that I don't.

Don't throw any ice cubes.

Frost and the fury: Norwich punk gig halted over ice cube spat

A gig-goer claims she was the victim of a vicious tirade by the lead singer of a punk band – all because of an ice cube!

Witch Fever are good - certainly worth catching. Not really my thing, but they were very popular amongst younger people at the Southampton gig. They seemed to be selling a load of merch.

(tell the door you have spares - they may have a waiting list - they did at the one I went to)
 
I saw Witch Fever about 3 years ago at Night and Day in Manchester. A few weeks before I'd seen an interview where they said there was no punk scene in Manchester so it was really funny when they turned up and played really, really bad heavy metal.

Maybe they've improved.

I liked them when I saw them, dunno if they've improved or if it's just that bad heavy metal played loud through amps sounds fucking amazing after a year+ of no gigs.
 
I quite got into a psychedelic folk LP by Simon Finn last year when we did the review of 1970, and he's playing Cafe Oto at the end of the month. Would go for sure if I was in London, he's pretty wild.
