Bagged tickets for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the Troxy in December. Very pleased. Love them and never managed to see them in the early years3

Saw Chris Difford and fantastic band in Twickenham on Friday night. Bit of a trek, but a Wonderful uplifting evening, mix of stories from his early life and career along with some classic Squeeze songs and several top new ones. He's a great raconteur, which I guess is to be expected given his wonderful story telling songs....and some great tales of famous stars he's met along the way, safe to say that they might be less impressed with his memories...!
Great at to see he appears to be in a good place, everyone left smiling. Massively recommended!1 -
Saw it in a church a few weeks ago. Top night out. He’s like a stand up comedian. And to end on Peter’s and Lee was hilariousPlumstead118 said:Saw Chris Difford and fantastic band in Twickenham on Friday night.

An interesting lot of gig posters in an auction at Fieldings (https://auctions.fieldingsauctioneers.co.uk/catalogue/eb44345fc3246eb897cb5eb111eaf16e/9b615028af0ce7db085bb45d23efc09c/vinyl-records-music-entertainment-memorabilia-vintage-to/).
This one caught my eye because I'm surprised to see Secret Affair topping the bill over Madness.0 -
I’m assuming that’s 1979. Secret Affair’s Time for Action made the charts couple of months before Madness released The Prince and got to number 13 at the time of that gig.1

I was there too! (Less of a trek for me). It was one of the best things I've seen in ages, a top man, really good band and really good sound. If he does any more, firm recommendation.Plumstead118 said:Saw Chris Difford and fantastic band in Twickenham on Friday night.

This one caught my eye because I'm surprised to see Secret Affair topping the bill over Madness.I saw XTC 2 days before that Aylesbury gig at the Music Machine on 20th December 1979, they were brilliant and this was in the days when Andy Partridge was still able to be on stage though they didn't get on stage until nearly midnight as the tour bus broke down or some similar excuse, don't think the music curfews were in force in those days either.Had to get the night bus home to Lewisham and then walk the rest of the way to Plumstead Common, got home around 4am, and as it was last day of school term in 6th form so had to up and out to be at Eaglesfield at 9am! Best said that my mum wasn't happy with my "gigging" in those days.Memories eh!3 -

Radiohead last night. Astonishing back catalogue of songs and good performance. Sound was awful (and occasionally out of sync).The hives + yard act on Saturday next.1

Assume this was part of the March of the Mods tour. I saw Secret Affair, Purple Hearts and Back to Zero in Torquay in July or August, then the Lyceum in September {?}. Madness supported there and I'd never heard of them at that stage. Pretty sure Selecter did as well.AddicksAddict said:

Posting this on the train back. Yes it was pretty loud but so much of the power went to the low end that I found it manageable with my standard protection. If anything the Jubilee line is doing more damage! 🤪Leuth said:Anyone else going to suffer permanent hearing damage at Wembley Arena tomorrow

Le Mans today
La Roche sur Yon tomorrow- sold out weeks ago but I bought mine in September
Limoges on Friday1 -
I saw English Teacher a year or so ago and thought they were very good. After a year of intensive touring, they’ve become outstanding, based on fabulous performance at the Roundhouse, Chalk Farm last night.

If you're free Friday 19th December and looking for a local gig. Then my band (Simmons And The Stags) are playing The Iron Horse in Sidcup, it's free entry and we've got some great support of independent musicians.
And of course Tyreece Campbell will be played loud and maybe a rendition of VFR at some point.
We have a Facebook event that you can RSVP and then it'll remind you closer to the date. CLICK HERE FOR THE FACEBOOK
Usually a good load of Charlton fans join us for the gigs, always good fun and a good drink up. And if you come, make sure you introduce yourself and say hi!1 -
