Indeed, Apparently there is a lot of family history of heart disease
He had a stent fitted and recovery from that is generally quite quick.
Also worrying was that when he collapsed he fell face first into a glass coffee table and a plastic surgeon had to remove glass shards from close to his eyes.
Hope he doesn’t give too detailed an explanation at the gig!
First show is Glasgow tonight so see how he feels I expect, at least it is a short run with only four shows
Awesome gig
Best thing I have seen a while
Front row seat so couldn’t get the percussionist in the shot, so he gets a pic of his own.
Little flurry of gigs starting tonight , I’m crossing Hebden Bridge Trades Club off the post-retirement list of venues to visit - John Smith.
Back home tomorrow - The Hanging Stars
14th - Motel Sundown
17th - Dallahan
23rd - Mary Gauthier.
Lafayette is a nice (and very new, purpose-built) venue 
Dead handy for King’s X, St Pancras, Coal Drops Yard.
At the risk of teaching my granny to suck eggs, the main hall is considerably wider than it is deep - it’s difficult not to be close up to the band.
Nitzer Ebb a couple of years ago.
Sadly it sounds unlikely that will be a recurrence of that, given Douglas McCarthy’s health issues.
Thanks for the info
Being outdoors and in South London, the Crystal Palace Bowl series of concerts are always pretty spliff-tastic, however I suspect that 10th August (bottom right)
will be particularly herbal this year.

Saturday and Friday would be my shout … likelihood is the Saturday and stay with the Londoners. I’ll let you know . This time I’ll keep the frequency clear Kenneth
It’s a good spot and chilled vibe there
The week apart
Great lighting
Unsurprisingly much better acoustics than your average East End “upstairs in a pub”.
Suprised you haven’t been to any gigs at Union Chapel?
He lloks older than I imagined.
Late forties? Although I’m notoriously shit at guessing ages.
I would have said he looks mid-late 50’s but what do I know ?
Better photo stolen from “Sydenham Broadcasting Corporation” (pro tip: I don’t think there really is a Sydenham Broadcasting Corporation) on that Twitter.
I love it when the artist can clearly feel and hear something that you just can’t. Mighty Lord Deathman throws shapes in a similar way while twiddling the knobs.
