Gigs I'm going to. The Gyroscope diaries

Monday 9 october

A friend is going to see Blur somewhere in Holland tonight.

I mentioned that the tickets for Wembley had been very expensive and there had been considerable complaint.

“Hey”, he says, “we paid €52, and you get a free horse sausage with that”

He’s just WhatsApp’ed to say that “it’s raining bastard”.

I feel you, brother from another mother.

(us at Thievery Corporation a while back, as usual I’m less of a barn door these days - that’s shocking)

I pledged to never seeing Blur again after I saw them around 12-15 years ago. Such a lazy set and clearly none of the could be arsed. Plus it went on for hours and hours playing all the boring unknown songs.

I walked out half way through. Only reason I went was because it was billed as Blur’s last ever gig. Clearly not.

Yours still fuming,
Annoyed in Sussex.

I’ve just realised that the wife will be away and I will be bored out of my tiny little mind when this is on

Probably £100 by the time you’ve added on all the stupid fees tho :thinking:

Big Special at The Dublin Castle in Camden Town. I didn’t think they still did pubs that filthy :laughing:

Anyway, that was quite the showstopper.

The Dublin Castle was filthy when I used to go there in the 80s
Some of the filth should be listed by now. :grinning:

In sunny (well it was yesterday) Saltburn-by-the-sea

for the folk festival. Main concerts with 3 or four acts on, e.g. the Wilsons (Stockton’s own wall of sound)


and the Canny Band

though I’ve most enjoyed the singarounds and “meet the artist” interviews, less formal and no PA to muffle the sound (also the ONLY time I’m ever likely to set foot in a Conservative club).
