Amazing live band.  Even though there's only about half of the original line up left!

Weller was outstanding, simply outstanding. A mix of old, new, Jam & Style Council, topped off with Steve Craddock on lead guitar. 
 

What a night. 

Well-jel 😏 . Paul Weller is a top entertainer. Met him before a gig at Strathclyde Uni when he was still in the Jam. Was a bit dumbstruck as a teenager but had a laugh when he signed his autograph on the NME over Bryan Ferry's face..

I've had a nightmare.  Bought the Missus Deacon Blue tickets for Edinburgh Castle next year (she's been wanting to see them for years) and booked a hotel too.  Then realised about 10 minutes later it's the same day The Strokes are playing Glasgow! Schoolboy error.

Was at Les Mis in Theatre Royal yesterday. What a show. Highly recommended for a good greet. I packed some tissues before I went as I cry every time I see it.

20 minutes in and Fantine’s I Dreamed A Dream’  had me blubbering on cue. I scrambled about my bag looking for my hankies but couldn’t find them,  I must not have put them in afterall.  Tears were streaming down my face so Mr Tidy gave me his face mask to use. I wiped my face then blew into it , the noise was louder than the cannons from the battle. I used it throughout the rest of the first half, It was only at the interval I realised we did not have any spare face masks 🤣

Went to Halloumi in Hope St afterwards. Great wee restaurant and brilliant atmosphere  👍

Just bought tickets for Big Country at the Old Fire Station in Carlisle in a couple of weeks time. 

Limited to 500 people, I haven't been to see them since late 80's.

No, I think he left about 10 years ago. Haven't seen the newest guy think his name is Simon Hough.

I've seen them a few times with Simon. He's really good IMO. Much better than when Mike Peters and Tony Butler were on vocals. I did see Mike a few times just felt his voice wasn't really suited to BC songs.

Got tickets for Elvis Costello in June and Dexys in September. Mind you haven't got my money back for the Elvis gig that got cancelled due to Covid as I succumbed and got them from Viagogo. Anyone else had that problem? 

[scottincarlisle]

Went to Big Country last night. Really enjoyed it, not quite the same as the 80's at Barrowlands but good all the same. 

Lots from The Crossing, Wonderland & Restless Natives. Worth going seeing if in a town near you.

I sadly never got to see BC with Stuart Adamson tho I was a big fan. Did see them with Mike Peters who I also like but vocally Simon is much closer to Stuart.
