In Glasgae for the Pistols & Frank Carter gig. It's m'birthday and I've got pink leopard print hair and a pink and black kilt on, so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself... Today is going to be hot (for Scotland) and wet, which to quote Adrian Cronauer is..."good if you're with a woman, but ain't no damned good as the weather". "Anyone want to swap some Factor 50 sun lotion for a sou'wester and some galoshes?"
At the airport preparing to fly to Luton on our way to MK. Met and had a chat with Richard Jobson, who's on the same flight as us. Mrs B bumped into him, in the crowd watching the Pistols. He is a top fella. Yesterday’s band ranked: Rezillos - 9/10 Home advantage, but strong performance. Skids - 10/10 Always a top act. Should have been above... Buzzcocks - 1/10 First couple of numbers were ok-ish. After that, they were dreadful. Mrs B didn't recognise 'Orgasm Adict' until the chorus. Spent their entire set laying on the grass...wishing it would end. Undertones - 9/10 Always great. The Stranglers - 11/10 despite seeing them only a week ago, still a delight. Band of the night. FC& Sex Pistols- 7/10 Jonesy looked dreadful. Probably exhausted after a recent gig in France, in the broiling heat. The gig at The Forum in September was sooo much better. Oh well, onwards....
I have the album, very good it is too, they are playing in London later this year but unfortunately I won't be able to get there I heard Sarah Jarosz on the Robert Elms show years ago and have followed her ever since , if you like this "alt country " give her a watch , you won't be disappointed Her show last year was one of my highlights
