Ah, The Beta Band - classic! I had tickets to see Steve Mason do King Biscuit Time earlier this year, but lockdown has forced him to cancel the tour - gutted, although I did see him do his solo stuff a couple of years ago. John McCleans brothers' band have some new material out...always uplifting stuff from them...
How many gigs has this shyte caused you to miss altogether Steels. Gutted for you. Hope to see some live stuff myself soon.
Here's my gig diary.... Doune The Rabbit Hole - Aug 12 - 15th Black Midi - QMU - 6 Sep Squid - SWG3 - 28 Sep Fontaines DC - Barrowlands - 20 Oct Sports Team - SWG3 - 26 Oct Public Service Broadcasting - Barrowlands - Nov 07 Man of Moon - Oran Mor - Nov 26 Shed Seven - Barrowlands - Nov 27 Black Country New Road - SWG3 - Dec 8 Pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs - St Lukes - Dec 10 We Were Promised Jetpacks - SWG3 - Dec 11 2022 IDLES - Barrowlands - Feb 04 The Chats - SWG3 - Mar 24 Psychfest - Liverpool - April 17-18 Lovely Eggs - Stereo - May 27 Twilight Sad - Barrowlands TBC...??? Steve Mason - King Tuts - 24 Sep cancelled Girl Band - cancelled Pixies - cancelled Porridge Radio - cancelled Most of these were for last year, and have all been moved, some two or more times. Four tours completely cancelled. If this carries on, I can see them being rescheduled again. Really am missing live music - the streamed stuff online just doesn't do anything for me. We normally do at least one gig a month, this is by far the longest I've gone without seeing a band live for as long as I can remember - it's one of the reasons I've got back into my vinyl collection as it's a way of supporting the artist - I don't buy from Amazon, either direct from Artist/label or from an independant record store. Where's your nearest venues? Don't imagine there's too much out where you are....I'm so lucky that there's so many venues in Glasgow, only 35 minutes away.
Nearest ones would be The Ricoh Arena, Empire in Cov, the 02 in brum and Demontfort in Leicester. We occasionally (used to) go for weekends away and see gigs in other places, mainly London. Loved Arcade Fire at Earls Court, my birthday present from the mrs a few years back.
