[Fuzzywuzzy]

Party at the palace last night. What a ****ing **** show. The whole place was covered in camp chairs with few walk ways. Definite vibe of "this is my space, **** off"

UB40 were brilliant. Heaven 17 and big country were ok.

When leaving there was a car broken down and some stupid **** decided to push it into the folk in front of it (not sure why the handbrake wasn't on). Could have been nasty

When Alan Hull's son-in-law sings Winter Song, close your eyes and tell me he's not channelling the man himself.

What a lovely voice he has! I'd never heard him before, and you're right, Winter Song was a standout. Really enjoyable night, thinking of seeing them again in December in Kinross.

Aw man, where is the grit orchestra, when? And what will they be playing??

[Stairway 2 7]

Got a few shows during the festival saw Carmen at the festival theatre last week was really good. the Halle orchestra at the Usher Hall yesterday was brilliant, everyone was seated on beanbags in the stalls and the musicians were all around us mixed in with the audience, great seeing them play a few feet away.

Marriage of Figaro at festival Theatre tonight

Have the Scottish Opera doing Oedipus Rex at the Museum on Sunday. They perform in the middle of the main hall and the audience stand around and can move about apparently.

Cheers. I keep on top of most of his stuff but missed this. His nightly “live from home” series during Covid quite probably kept me alive some days. One of my favourite musicians.

I’ll be there as well, I love both these albums and have been waiting a long time to see them played - it feels like an eternity since they announced the first shows for these albums.

[Moulin Yarns]

Last night, the Laurettes and NATI, on the roof of the St James Quarter. What a stunning location for a gig!!!

Going to this too. Looking forward to it. My mate who is the only other person I know that's into them is away so I'm taking along my wife who doesn't really get either of them - Death Cab maybe at a push.

Interesting they play the songs from the albums in order. I was at the Liam Gallagher Definitely Maybe gig in Belfast at the weekend and he played those songs out of order (as he has done on the entire tour), presumably because the best songs are all near the start and he was also interspersing them with B-sides of the era. I think I'd prefer it in order the way Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service are doing it.

I’ve seen a few gigs now where an artist has played an album in full, and it’s always been in the original order apart from Billy Bragg. I like it that way as the running order of an album is important, although I appreciate from a live performance view the artist may want to change it, like Billy did so he could finish with A New England.
