My neighbour was doing some late night concert browsing and decided to treat herself to a ticket to see Patti Smith. When she woke up in the morning she realised it was in Rotterdam.
She went anyway, legend.
Even the title is just so BIG. Amazing record.
Went to see the play Stereophonic last night. A fictionalised account of Fleetwood Mac making Rumours. Brilliant. All set in a recording studio with the cast playing original music (by the guy from Arcade Fire) which sounds v Rumours-esque. It’s very long at 3 hours but is totally engrossing. Excellent stuff.
This sounds really great from friends… will try and book tickets.
its so close to the real thing, the sound engineer and producer on rumours sued the producers of the play
I’ve taken a punt on tickets for this. Townshend is behind it, Paul Smith outfits etc, and they are using the score from his classical version from a few years back which I like, so hoping it’ll be good.
Not been to Sadlers Wells since the 80s for I Am Kurious Oranj!
Darren Emerson had some nice words about his gig last night at hang dai in Dublin… we will be seeing him in West Cork 2 weeks time well done Darren on 8 months sober
I mainly run records at the George Tavern in Shadwell,
I’ve had some pretty good nights in here crowd wise, of all ages. This is for anyone who lives nearby, is up for bobbing down, i want to invite folk who are as mad about all this stuff as I.
I play a wide variety of musics…
Here’s some floaters that I like,
Possibly going and a heads up.
Saw it in Plymouth last weekend. Stunning production/effects on top of the amazing dancers (particularly Ace Face). Never been the ballet so, can’t compare to anything but, really enjoyed it. One incredibly emotional scene too. You’ll soon know it when it starts.
Great, thanks
That’s him alright.
Yes, that is me!
Cheeky little party we just started as a group of friends…think this is the third one now at WHT and we do 1 a year in London as well.
Did you see that on WHT socials just out of interest?
Follow up: if by chance anyone happens to find themselves in Helsinki over the summer with a stack of records or crumby usb’s, let me know and we’ll have a dance. Very low effort to arrange anything there. Worth mentioning there’s Asahi on tap.
On RA of all places
Edit: unfortunately I think we’re picking my son up from college that weekend - if that changes I’d love to come along (and it’s only around the corner)
