I really hope so as they must surely rank as one of THE bands to see live from any era.
Oh yeah. Totally fucking agree
Gig cock ups aside, nice 
We were practically commuters to the US ~2000 but now I’m not sure we’ll ever make it back again.
I thought we should go see it while it’s still in one piece

Yeah, Trump was an absolute “no” (he might outlaw bald people while I was mid-air), we kind of missed Biden and now I’m a bit crumbly 
We were supposed to go for my 50th but most things in the world turned to shit so it never came to pass and I’ve always wanted to see it so it’s now or never.
Agree with the Trump thing so might as well go now just in case.
I tried to copy the wife’s cousin and her wife’s “50 at 50”. They are massive Elvis fanatics so they did the whole Graceland thing amongst many other achievements.
My attempt got bogged down in a mire of fail, meh and 
60 though, eh? 
Graceland was one of the biggest surprises for me when we went to Memphis - it’s an amazing place.
Ruts DC at The John Peel Centre.
Great stuff. I have loved The Ruts for decades but never seen them live.

Presumably not much of a crossover between folk fans and the hordes of people on the beach yesterday.
There is a bimodal age distribution for the folkies.
The youngsters (very good to see them taking on the old tunes and songs) tend to stay up late and rise late so have to rush to the gig.
The older group find that getting down to the beach and back up again are very different matters.
Need to get the cliff railway working again.

No idea who I’m actually here to see but it’s Edinburgh fest so it doesn’t really matter. Prime slot in Macewan Hall so hopefully they are funny.
Loving the grills between the balustrades
