Suede last night in Glasgow was tremendous.

[CropleyWasGod]

I know there are a few Steve Earle fans on here.

He's just announced the Queens Hall on June 13th. I've just got my tickets, but there don't seem to be many left.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[overdrive]

Has anyone seen Tom McGuire and the Brassholes ? He's coming to Gala soon , a couple of people have said he's good

Yes, saw them at the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival last year. I really enjoyed them eve though that's not usually my sort of music (was only there as my wife works for the festival).

[Green Man]

I’m going to see Interpol at the Queens Hall in May, no thanks to Ticketmaster. I had presale tickets in my basket yesterday, then when I went to checkout TM decided I needed to reset my password, using a one time code which I’ve still never received. No such trouble when going direct to the Queens Hall website this morning for general sale.

I had that same thing this morning with the Steve Earle CWG tipped us off on! I tried the password thing second time and suddenly got the emails pouring in and working okay.

What I don’t like is the time it takes to actually release the tickets when you get timed out. Still not sure at what point the tickets were lost between me and getting back into the system or someone else picking them up, but thankfully after looking like all floor seats had gone, a couple reappeared from somewhere.

Was wondering about that.

I bought a couple of tickets, which have numbered seats on them, on what is normally the floor. I've been at QH gigs where they have put seats in there, and wondered if that what was happening here. After all, he is on his own this time, with no band... and a "sitty-doon gig" mighr be more appropriate.

I hope not.... I always prefer to stand at gigs. :greengrin

Yeah looks like all-seated to me, that’s what I was assuming anyway. I’ll be quite happy to sit for this one to be fair 😂

After the above post I went onto queens hall website and turns out there are better seats (if that’s what they are) and cheaper than doing by ticket master. TM order duly cancelled and went direct.

Always best to buy direct from the venue if you can. Why give TM your money.

Absolutely. I didn’t do more than a quick Google and just never even thought it would be possible. A rare treat.

Now to see if they refund me nice and quickly, without any arguments, having notified them within the 24 hour cool-off period.

The Usher Hall usually sell tickets direct as well. It’s nice to give a wee bit more money to the venue, and I think because TM are so dominant, folk often don’t think of going to other sources so it can be easier to get tickets from the venue.

[DH1875]

Anyone been to SWG3 for a concert? Got chance to go see Inspiral Carpets there next month.

[drummondst34]

Going to see Tide Lines, at the Castle and Falcon , Kings Heath , Birmingham,
next Saturday, 25th March. A pub with an intimate 180 odd capacity, standing
concert room.
Also saw the great German oompah band playing rock music !, Heimatadamisch,
there a few weeks ago.

Drummond St 34:aok:

Thanks , I looked him up on YouTube seems good, I was told that he was voted Scottish live act of the year . Its a night out if nothing else , early bird tickets only £14 . Busy time next weekend with him on Friday then another gig on the Saturday night

[J-C]

Yes, good venue, a bit out the way but pretty decent.

[grunt]

[Bishop Hibee]

Big Country on Thursday 1st June at the Queen’s Hall. Celebrating 40 years since The Crossing was released which means it’s nearly 40 years since I camped overnight outside The Playhouse box office for tickets to the accompanying concert. Geez I’m auld!

The Proclaimers on Leith Links on Saturday 17th June.

[Hermit Crab]

I've got tickets for Madonna in October at the O2 in London on her opening night in the UK, paid £450 inc a £25 booking fee for 2 tickets and thats face value. Bucket list stuff for me so I don't mind the costs involved.

Richard Thompson at Queens Hall 18 June 2023. Same day as one of the Proclaimers gigs on Leith Links. I've been given tickets for Proclaimers but I don't know which day they're for ...

[grunt]

Death Cab for Cutie at the Usher Hall the week after
Sadly cancelled due to illness.

I've had two tours (one of which I was attending multiple gigs) cancelled on me this last week. Go and see bands while you can, they won't be around forever.

[CropleyWasGod]

Now moved to Sunday 11th June. Tickets still valid.

Ta :)

[WeeRussell]

Ta :)

The queens hall actually sent me an email with new date on the tickets after I posted that. Not sure if the qr code has changed at all but definitely said everything still valid and no need to do anything when I first read the change.

I wish they’d moved it to May to be honest 😁

Got the email this morning - bizarrely though, I met Ben Gibbard in Edinburgh earlier (which made up for my disappointment) - was in for an event at the EICC and went for a walk at lunchtime - the band were staying at the Sheraton this evening I think and he was out in Festival Square with a couple of other guys.

Tried to see if I could get tickets for Glasgow tomorrow instead but everyone else must have had the same idea as it's now sold out.

Glasgow is cancelled as well now.

[Sylar]

Nothing to be done if one of the band are ill - refunds fine, but I do hope they'll reschedule for Scotland soon. Seems like Scotland is getting a lot of 'ill/can't play' cancellations in recent months.

The problem with refunds etc of course are that no booking fees etc will be refunded, because ticket sites are robbing *******s.

[Northernhibee]

Went to see the Go! Team last weekend. An absolute joy.

[grunt]

Salt House tomorrow. Can't wait.

[Currie Hibbie]

Had tickets for CAMEL (Usher Hall) and YES (Glasgow, Newcastle and London). All postponed until next year. Andy Latimer is unwell. YES claiming insurance problems and the possibility of escalating "friction" in some parts of the world.

On a different matter, son and girlfriend were at the Kevin Bridges gig last year when it all kicked off. Complained to the organisers and received 2 free tickets for BLINK 182. Shows it pays to at least try and get some sort of compensation.

Got tickets for The Who at Edinburgh Castle. Not cheap at £100 each but they still put on a good gig that belies their years. Or certainly the case the 3 times I’ve seen them before. Their 50th anniversary gig is up there with the best I’ve been to.

[grunt]

For anyone who is interested, Fairport Convention at the Queens Hall Sunday 29 October 2023 just gone on sale.
Celebrating 56 years of the band.

[Green Man]

Billy Bragg at the Usher Hall in November, celebrating 40 years of his music. I’ve only seen him once, 30 years ago, so I’m delighted he’s doing this tour.

[patch1875]

Cigarettes After Sex booked for November.

[G15 Hibs]

Next month I've got Billy Nomates at the QMU on the 22nd then Richard Dawson at St Luke's on the 26th. Never been to a Richard Dawson gig before, expecting something quite different.

[Onceinawhile]

Got Wu-Tang and Nas at the Hydro in June.

Never been to the hydro, but assume it's just a case of getting the train to the exhibition centre and walking?

That really is historic.

Back to the eighties for me, Guns n Roses in Glasgow in June.

[Frazerbob]

Just back from Vegas where I attended my first gig of the year. Depeche Mode at the T Mobile Arena. First of all, what a venue. They really do put us to shame. Great show and crowd but looking forward to seeing them back in Europe in a couple of months where the venues aren't all seated with the ridiculous pricing structure in the States. Next up, Tom Meighan in a couple of weeks.......

This is a handy thread for notifications of gigs that I often seem to miss.

Songkick (https://www.songkick.com/) is useful for that – you add artists and locations you're interested in and it notifies you when matching gigs are listed.

It's a bit of work to add all the artists, but it's good once that's done. (You can link it to something like Spotify so that it automatically adds artists that you listen to, but I've found this creates a lot of 'noise' – artists that I might listen to now and then but have no interest in seeing live – so then I have to do the admin of going through and removing them.)

Thought it was a cracking gig. He put everything into it. I like his new stuff. From what I’ve heard of the album so far, it’s better than Kadabian’s latest release.

Surprised how small the crowd was. 600 tickets sold in advance, looked like a bit more to me but still only about half full.

[Hibby70]

Roseanne Reid, daughter of Craig, is the support for the whole tour.

Given that the boys will have a night off then, in between their Kelso and Leith Links gigs, what's the chances of the 4 of them doing "My Old Friend the Blues" together? :not worth

Otoboke Beaver return to Scotland this Friday - a sold out show at St Luke’s and always a frenetic set.

Other May gigs are-

Half Man Half Biscuit at Liquid Rooms - seen them a a few times and never fail to entertain.

House of All at Summerhall. Ex Fall members and new LP is a delight.

Meryl Streek, Irish agitator and politically charged content. Rearranged from earlier in year after his show at McChuills was cancelled at last minute due to a water mains burst and now in Poetry Club at SW3G - Should be good.

Previous gigs so far in ‘23

Bar Stool Preachers supported by the excellent Guillotines on Friday at Bannerman's.I saw them a few years back at liquid rooms supporting cock sparrer and they were really good. I think the singer is the son of Colin McFaul, the singer from cock sparrer.

My next gig is Ruts DC in Dunfermline next week. Will need to get ticket for amyl and the sniffers in August and I've already got ticket for UK Subs final tour in September.

Sure there's plenty more coming up I'll want to go to.

Went to James with an orchestra & choir at the Usher last week,like whats been posted terrific versions of the songs.
Went round to the stage door after & waited about 90mins for them to venture out.photos & signatures the singer put asked us if we were going to Glasgow on the Monday, we didn’t have tickets so he put us on the guest list.
After show passes we’re in with the tickets when we picked them up.
Weekend to remember .

When I saw £72 I genuinely thought that it was a typo for £27 and then an SBF to be added on top. I saw them last time around and that will do for me. As a band, both musically and conceptually, they were way ahead of their time, but £72 is a piss take.

[grunt]

On the subject of ticket prices, there are three bands who I would always automatically go and see whenever they tour, that I have decided against seeing this year. Peter Gabriel, Roger Waters and The Who, all far too expensive.

But I'll keep my eyes open for cheaper tickets nearer the time!

That’s a great story. I met them back stage at the Isle of Wight festival a couple of years ago. They were incredibly friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy chatting to us. Very under rated band too. Their recent output has been excellent. Was gutted I had to sell my Usher Hall tickets.

Wild that. Guess I'll no be seeing them again ha

[degenerated]

Not upcoming but just home from Ruts DC in Dunfermline. Absolutely brilliant set with a mix of stuff off their two albums and some of the old Ruts classics. Really tight and great sound. Dave Ruffy really does make playing the drums look effortless and easy, but is one of the best out there at it.

[J-C]

We have Alter Bridge at the O2 Edinburgh on June 6th but the wife is waiting to go in for an operation in the next few weeks, so it may be a case of selling the tickets or going myself with my son's father in law.

[Hibby70]

His voice was in fine form when I saw James in Blackpool on Friday! Sounds like I got lucky. The orchestral version of Sit Down is infinitely better than the usual version. Tomorrow and Sometimes were the encore and were incredible.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Midge Ure at the Usher Hall tonight.
Courteeners at the o2 in 2 weeks
Proclaimers in Leith on the 18th
Muse supported by the Warning & Twin Atlantic in Glasgow on 24th June.

Was there last night also. I was a bit disappointed with the set list a lot of stuff I didn’t recognise. Think the last couple of times they have been here they played an album in full so might have been expecting a more classic set list.

Still always worth checking out though!

I saw them do Seamonsters in full last year. I actually preferred the mix last night. I was already familiar with a lot of the new stuff so that helped.

Is this one of those bands that have got 2 different versions, depending on who's talking to who?

[grunt]

Yes, the band split into two BJHs in 1998, one fronted by John Lees, and the other by Les Holroyd. They are the only original BJH members left alive. Both bands continue to tour, although this tour was billed as John Lees' final tour, he is 76 years old. Good gig, RNCM is a very nice venue.

I was at the Big Country concert at the Queen’s Hall last night. 40 years since ‘The Crossing’ was released. Superb sold out gig. Easier to get tickets than 40 years ago when I camped overnight outside the Playhouse Box Office with hundreds of others.

[Sylar]

Watched the Foo Fighters live set from Rock Am Ring last night - an outstanding set of banger after banger, executed incredibly.

Was greetin' more than a few times, but so good to see them back doing what they do best.

[Frazerbob]

Off to Dublin for a couple of gigs this month. Kasabian at the Olympia, which is rescheduled from last year when they first started touring again so it's a really wee venue. Then, Depeche Mode in front of 50,000 at Malahide Castle the following night. Then it's Copenhagen for Depeche Mode at the Parken Stadium at the end of June.

By what Bruce was saying they’ll be touring again next year as the Steeltown album will be 40 since its release.

Caught a bit of their gigs while working at Old Trafford the last two nights. They’ve got a weird following of teenage girls these days (TikTok, apparently). Mixed up the set list quite a bit over the two nights which is a bonus for anyone going more than once on the same tour.

Yeah changing up the set list order is quite good actually. Keeps it fresh.

Lead singer is a massive horror fan, and their entire back catalogue are references or nods to horror stories, so quite possibly?

Edit: Taken from the Wiki entry on Cat's Cradle:

The metalcore band Ice Nine Kills took their name from the eponymous substance ice-9 and are fans of Vonnegut's work.

Im going to watch Secret Affair at the sheffield Leadmill in October. A mod revival band from the earlyish 80s. From memory "time for action" was their biggest hit. They are playing the voodoo lounge on tge same tour as well as the Cavern Vlub in Liverpool. Some interesting venues.

My World was a far better song imo but think Time for Action pipped it by a few places chart position wise.

Arctic Moneys and Milburn was my first ever gig back in 2005, on the back of just a few downloaded songs and before the album. Place was absolutely rocking. To see that the other night shocked me a bit.

I was there. Not sure where the videos were taken that you’ve seen but I was in the front pit and it was class. Admittedly, during a couple of songs from Tranquility and The Car, the crowd lost interest (ignorance if you ask me), but on the whole, they had us eating out of the palm of their hands. Generally do feel outdoor gigs do lose the atmosphere of indoors gigs.

Sam Fender in Newcastle on Saturday was incredible for atmosphere. Then he brought out Brian Johnson from AC/DC. Incredible.

The Hives are a brilliant support act IMO and Arctic Monkeys are just a well oiled machine at this point. No real interaction with the audience but don't think anyone expects that. The screens are cool AF and new material like Body Paint sits well along side the classics. And they're mixing up the sets with a few changes most nights.

Doune The Rabbit Hole has been cancelled.

No refunds either

[Green Man]

I see Doune The Rabbit Hole are blaming the BECTU Union for the festival’s cancellation. I remember when they had issues last year there didn’t seem to be much responsibility taken by the organisers either. It seemed like a cool festival, but sounds like it hasn’t been run well. I don’t know how they could expect people to work at this year’s event when folk were still waiting to be paid for last year.

[Sylar]

That'll be a death sentence for Doune if they're not offering refunds - I'm quite amazed they're allowed to get away with that.

What do we actually have in the way of music festivals left in Scotland? Is it just TRNSMT (which I wouldn't go near) and Belladrum?

Wish we'd get a proper heavy rock festival back in Scotland - fed up having to make my way to Leeds or Derbyshire each year!

AIUI, they paid the bigger acts up-front this year, in order to secure them and attract punters.

So it looks as if there's no money left.

Just read the statement on their website, thanks for giving us your money but we had to pay our bills and now we’re cancelling and you can’t have it back. It’s not our fault it’s the union who wanted us to pay our bills.

No responsibility on their part at all.

"They" were a different company last year, hence the legal cop-out.

This from a friend of mine.....

We had a friend who ran kids workshops for 8 hrs straight for three days. Pre Covid festival and she wasn’t paid.

They went back to her last year and said it would be different this time. So she did three 8hr days and was never paid.

Their marketing guy came onto me - I described their brand as toxic to the creative and technical communities.

He insisted that it would be different this year

[DH1875]

When you do something like Glasto then folk only want to hear a greatest hits collection, your own tour is when you play all the other stuff

I love the Arctic Monkeys on record but live they are strangely passion free. Turner is in danger of going full on Bono here.

It's utter pish, he's singing in a stupid voice. I'm watching Sparks with Cate Blanchett one more time then that's all for tonight.

+1 for not digging this arctics live performance. Was quite looking forward to seeing it too.

Opinions eh… no different from when I saw them live a couple of weeks ago and smashing it. They have 7 albums to choose from and have evolved massively as a band since their first album. Alex Turner is cool as to me too.

They weren’t that great before Turner put his guitar down. This is next level awful now. Still hopeful they finish with a two or three song burst of magic.

My issue is they’ve already played a couple of he ones I really like and it didn’t get any better. I don’t think I’ll be lasting to the end.

Agreed. I don’t follow them that closely, so maybe it’s the way he sings now, but almost seems like he’s applying that slightly posher altered voice on the newer different stuff to the whole performance. Also finding him a bit weird. Anyway, each to their own.

That sparks lot was the most bizarre thing I’ve seen in a while though 😁 certainly not for me either.

Things are that desperate I’m on ‘best of only an excuse’ now!

It’s like Hibs for me. I always stay until the end even when we are 3-0 down just in case.:greengrin
