The Dancing Thread - let your hair down and let it all hang out!

Yes, great venue, saw Georgie Fame, The Three Degrees, amongst other acts there recently. In-house restaurant disappointing though.

 

Mrs HF went to see Burt Bacharach at the Palladium a year or so ago. For all my METAL preferences my best gig of last year was film score composer Hans Zimmer.... and I've been to see Barbara Streisand twice.

 

Off to see a Clash tribute band at the 100 club next Saturday. They are doing Give 'em Enough Rope from start to finish - seems quite apt this morning

 

Mme Yorkie likes Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam who we went to see last year and was very good...

I laso went to see Brian Wilson, who is a little frail now, but he and his band did a heartwarming beach boys set

Then later in the year to see my old fave Neil Young who did some great classics and ended with 15 minutes of electric jamming <ouch>

 

I can hear the hippy beads already!!

 

It must be the backing singers.

 

Lady Gaga Sunday week, followed by Arch Enemy on Sunday fortnight. For those of you that don't know Arch Enemy....

 

The girl singer desperately needs some strepsil lozenges.

 

She takes a bit of getting used to, eh? You wouldn't know it was a girl if you only listened to them. Vocally she's not my thing but it's an afternoon out with my Best Man and I'm looking forward to this gig!
Also lined up are Rambert (contemporary ballet, had freebies in 2016 to see them, first in the queue upon announcement this time!), Blood Brothers, Think Floyd and Foo Fighters... can't say I'm not eclectic.

 

I know that this song is mainly associated with the Police, but I've just read a Harry Potter Fan Fiction based on this version:

 

Something different and one of the best gigs at The 'emel Pav

 

great band from the past

 

I used to frequent the Pavilion in the late sixties wearing a 3 piece grey suit tailor made at BURTONS, I thought I looked good anyway!!

It must have worked, it was where I met my wife 50 years ago on March 2nd. I've told her I will take her out for a meal to celebrate.

What do you think guys, Subway or splash out on a McDonalds?

Great programme about the music business and the big bands from the early 60s onwards.... with some great interviews.

John Giddings fronts it who a friend suggests we knew in St Albans as teenagers... ????

 

All four of us meant to be going to a Clash tribute gig tonight are ill Have to make do with this instead

 

Happy birthday to East Kilbride's finest, the incomparable Mr Roddy Frame

 

This deserves another airing...
