Gigs I'm going to. The Gyroscope diaries

It’s not sold out (the last two were) so I can’t even throw my ticket back onto Dice. Presumably because everybody has looked at the transport and gone “yikes!”.

@htm_1968 fancy a mosh?

That’s a very good bill actually.

Pigsx7 aren’t really my scene man….:unamused:

Boo! No seat on the Bus Of Metal for you :metal:

Left ankle still a bit sore from the Pigs pit on Friday.

Might have to retire from the moshpit before something breaks or snaps.

Khanate announced as the anchor tennant for Roadburn 2024.

Do I just go for it, given the whole inevitability of death thing?

So I told the wife that I’d spent half the afternoon looking at travel and accommodation, in a kind of “Should I?” way, and when I said “Eindhoven” she be like :heart_eyes:

Hence it looks like I will have a travel buddy and she’ll be all industrial design while I’m drone / doom in Tilburg (20 minutes away).

That Roadburn (never heared of and never been there) is in a venue called 013 (the telephone access code for Tilburg), which imo is a cozy medium sized venue with a club atmosphere. Pay for the garage upfront and park on the lower decks if you want to leave swiftly after the concert.
(Edit: after 18:00 hrs push a button for the special tariff of EUR 6 to park.)
Was there lately for James Blake. He had his birthday, so we’ve sung him a song too :slight_smile:

Thanks buddy but we’re all trains.

Although KLM did offer me a flight to Schiphol with a plane replacement bus service to Eindhoven :scream_cat:

If anyone wants Warrington-Runcorn vinyl then I’m standing next to an absolute shitheap of it, but it’s probably nothing that you can’t get on Bandcamp.

Ah, that’s the difference, he’s signing them.

Got quite a lot of signed records and CDs over the years
It is quite nice when you play them at a later time as it reminds you of a good gig etc.

I doubt there is one instance where it has added any (monetary) value to the item

Good to hear it maybe a little less studied, and properly broadcast with a decent sound system.

Oslo Hackney isn’t a great place IMO but the musos always seem to rave about the PA.

Unfortunately my body gave up on me in multiple departments so I left a little early.

Oh yes, synth crowd, weirdest crowd.

Ruth Angell trio playing songs and tunes from Hlywing and other albums in Ordsall Parish Hall (near Retford). Great evening including a light meal in the interval. Part of Live and Local, which brings acts to small villages.
