TDYER63 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Well , I had hoped to have Sparks/Goldfrapp/Future Islands at 02 but instead spent 30 mins of my life this morning staring at a count down bar to get heehaw. So only have The Divine Comedy at the bandstand plus, and this is stretching 'gig' a bit, the philharmonic orchestra plays Harry potter and the philosophers stone ....

Have you ever seen Maiden Scotland? I went to see them a couple of weeks ago and despite my initial reservations they were actually really good!!

Grim Jim Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Been to nothing so far this year, but Gojira and Virginmarys playing same night next month in Glasgow. Love Gojira, not sure about the latter, but pal says they're great so may give them a punt this time. Songkick had Bob Dylan supporting Deftones in May, but thankfully they've now been separated to Armadillo and SECC. Maybe some 2nd hand Deftone tickets going cheaper now I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Went to see Teenage Fanclub last night at Shepherd's Bush Empire. Excellent as always although they could have done with turning the sound up a bit. Between a couple of songs, Norman Blake mentioned that "this is the last night of a wee tour we've been doing. We've played a few gigs in France and Spain but it's great to finish off the tour in the EU!" This got quite a big cheer but what made my night was someone behind me turning to his mate and saying "Of course, they're Scottish" which I thought was telling.

I remember you posting that you'd seen them & I'd got tickets for the following evening. The sound was awful tbh as it always is at the Academy but I liked the album so went anyway. You'd think that if you're constructing a music venue, one of the first jobs would be to get the acoustics right? I remember seeing the Who at the ABC in Hull (many) years ago & the sound was better then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about the academy, although i'm sure TWOD's were at ABC when i saw them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
