Theres a lot of bias on this board about B Johnson. Because hes a mag. Personally i think hes ****ing great.
Barrowland Ballroom in the east end of Glasgow is fantastic.
****ing mental place.
I'm hoping to get back from Stoke in time to see 1977 play in the Ivy House on Sunday tea time.. They are an excellent local band..
Is the Riverside still open?
Seen loads there.Was Easy for me to get to Mordor. Jump on the metro at Seaburn and watch all the orks gathering the cloaer we got.
Aye, PIL were playing there last year....didn't go, for some reason the venue doesn't sell tickets, you have to do it online and sometimes I don't trust sites.
Nice one RAW, I'm sure I say them supporting last year but I can't remember, seen that many of late.
EDIT: May have been supporting Buzzcocks at Sunderland uni.
It was good night. Buzzcocks are on at the Carling Academy in November, should be another cracker.
Seen a few gigs there.
Nice one Billy, even the name sounds mental!
The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers & Billy Connolley, who, ironically enough used to drink in the Sarrie Heid just down the road when he was a welder in the shipyards.
Cannot remember Greenie but seen all the rest.
I still have a Beckett LP and a Circus 45 single.
Driving rain, Feed the Bear and The Force are canny local bands still doing the pubs n clubs.
Last live concert I went to was Joe Bonnamassa a couple of months ago at the Arena.

I remmember becket making their debut at roab club Gateshead around 1970
Saw the nutty boys years ago at the metro arena...used to love Madness like. Saw Christina Aguilera years ago too at the arena (ex wife dragged me there) but my 2 favourites gigs were Futureheads at n'cle uni and then saw them at Carling Acadamy. Don't know if it counts but the radio 1 Big weekend at pensha was canny aswell like with the Foo fighters! Even though some twat nicked me mobile phone out me front pocket!
I went to see a band caled Hunter and the Bear the other day at our local arts centre. http://www.hunterandthebear.co.uk/. I knew nothing about them except they said their influences included bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, so thought it might be worth a go. They weren't really my usual type of thing (they were a bit too country) , but I realy enjoyed it.
There's also a pub in Bromsgrove that has live music on a few times a week, and I sometimes stop in there, but you never know who the band is, and they're just playing covers.
Other than that, I've not seen much this year.
These days I mostly end up going to to see old bands from when I was a kid (or selected members of those bands with newer replacements for the remainder of the band). In the last few years I've seen the likes of Wishbone Ash, UFO, MSG, Focus, Jefferson Air/Star-ship, Steve Hacket, Steve Howe, Psychadelic Furs. I quite enjoy some tribute acts for bands that aren't touring any more, where I've seen a number of versions of Floyd, Genesis, Deep Purple, etc. I've also occasionally been to see some more recent bands like Biffy Clyro, Muse, Stereophonics (if they class as recent, they do for me).
Finally, similar to the OP, I get the "pleasure" of taking my daughter to a few gigs, where I've seen McFly more times than anyone should be forced to endure, including one where the Vamps were the support.

Seen some great gigs at Newcastle & Durham uni's. Punk reunion nights mostly.
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow is also worth a visit if you're ever up that way.
