Just noticed that Stiff Little Fingers are playing at the Kentish Town Forum next Thursday (26th). Late notice but are you interested if we can bag tickets? £22.50 plus postage - bargain.

If you like punk music, but something a little different, then I would highly recommend Ade Edmonson's band - The Bad Shepherds - when they tour next. I've seen them a few times and not only do you get great music, but also lots of banter from Ade and the band.0

Any good?0

Yes, a bit too much of the newer stuff that I didn't know, but very good all the same. Got home shortly before 1am and was lying in bed with my ears ringing. Hell of a hangover the following day, but well worth it.
As always after a gig like that I thought I really should do that more often. A colleague mentioned the Stranglers are playing Hampton Open Air pool. What a ridiculous venue, Stranglers would be good, but not at a picnic.0 -

This.
Ron and I are keeping an eye out for similar gigs and I'll post here if I spot anything that looks decent. We saw The Stranglers (Well Hugh Cornwell playing Stranglers songs) last November so not sure when they'll be round again. Wouldn't mind seeing The Pistols or The Jam again."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

Anyone been to see the Stranglers' new line up? I saw the Mk.2 Stranglers but not the current band.0
-
Are From The Jam any good?
The Jam are one band that I would loved to have seen live, probably more so than any other band. With Bruce Foxton playing, at least there is still a connection with the original band. Quite fancy catching the last night of the Sound Affects Tour II in Brighton.0 -

Some of those look good, I'll consult the calendar and the EPO.
As an aside went for a walk in Richmond Park with the family, stopped for tea and cakes and there was a posh wedding reception going on. The boy was particularly pleased at the disdainful look he got off some of the guests as he went to the loo. They looked at him, saw his SLF T shirt and tutted. I knew it was perfect for a teenager.0 -

Think I'm convincing myself it will be worth it :-)0 -

The only thing that troubles me about seeing the Pistols Experience is they are the ones most likely to get the dreamers, tossers and wannabes turn up. But I'm probably just being a grumpy old git because I'm in a bad mood. Looks like they are a good tribute act though.0

Were also looking to see if The Buzzcocks or Iggy Pop are touring. Will post up if we find anything."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
I'm taking my dad and missus to see the who in Hyde park at the end of June. Paul wellers in the line up too so it should be pretty awesome, though to be fair I don't know what it's going to be like as a venue. Big and overpriced most likely... Tickets are still available though I think if it's up your street.Cannondale caad7 ultegra

Saw The Stranglers twice in the Hugh Cornwell days (about '87?). Just fantastic - few bands have impressed me as much from a musicianship perspective . . . and what a back catalogueWilier Izoard XP0
