It was a great night Steels. Even Mrs SW was impressed (she wasn’t sure going in). Turbines/Pigs was absolutely incredible.

Tonights entertainment - off to the Barrowlands again for the return of The Beta Band. Played their first gig in 21 years last night at the same venue, looked great

Used to listen to them, along with a bit of Spiritualised after a night out at the clubs or raving, nice bit of trip-hop psychedelic folk! Great for the come down

Even John Cusack knew how good they were

On the constant chatting at gigs … with you completely Steels. Nothing worse than recently a couple of women going on about their private lives while the gig is going on - take it outside ffs. You wonder if they’re there for a social and have stumbled on a gig!!Great show. Took Steve Mason a couple of tracks to get his voice going. All brilliant unstrumentalists, lost count of how many times they all swapped around, drums, keyboards, guitars, trumpets, bongos and more.
Some absolute bampots in the crowd, off their tits on eccies or acid
One question though, why do people spend £40 on a ticket to see a band that hasn't played in 20 years, then spend the whole gig chatting to their pals - very annoying....
Fecking 'ell .
I love 3 of those bands!
Bit far to travel though![]()

Been looking at accomodation, it's extortionate as the Edinburgh Festival is on at the same time so if we do go I'll be driving - about 90 minutes to get there for me
softies
most big bands dont come to wellington
if its something we want to go to then its
7 hr 29 min driving on a good day
402.2 miles
mind you we take our time driving up and make a trip of it for a few days
I guess there's no trains at that time of night on the return journey?
Good gig to get too though!
have you heard if its going to be a world tourIt's a **** place for a venue, out at Edinburgh Airport. So if you want trains, you've got to go back in to Edinburgh to get on the mainline back to Glasgow Queen Street. Then I'd have to walk across town to Central Station and get another line out to where we live!
I've seen all these bands a few times except Just Mustard (who are quite good too). Hearing The Cure will be announcing an arena tour for their 50th anniversary so may wait for that instead - already have Mogwai tickets for next year!
