A fan/crowd pleasing 40th anniversary set with 1 real surprise thrown in. I'll say no more but anyone going (yes I'm talking to you Matt!) is going to have a ball.

We did!

Was hoping to make this gig but couldn't make it after all 😢

Did you catch the excellent support act Brave Rival?

Yes indeed. They did a good job of warming the crowd up.

Bought tickets to see Mica Paris later in the year. Not having seen her sing for decades, I'm starting to think it might have been a mistake unfortunately. She was great, really properly great. But this is terrible.

Loved her debut back in the day...'so good' indeed.

Prog for Peart

A two day music festival in Abingdon, Oxfordshire set up in memory of Neil Peart of the band Rush which donates all profits to brain cancer research.

I've just found out about this. A bit far to me, but I'm tempted - especially the Friday.  Friday 12th July & Saturday 13th July.

Went to the very first in 2021 as it's only a few miles away. Headliners were Bravado.  However, that was the only one that featured a Rush tribute which is a shame. The guy that organises it is a massive Rush fan and they do a great job raising money for glioblastoma research. For that reason it should be a regular on my gig calendar but I do struggle a bit with listening to Prog that I'm not familiar with. If you don't, it's well worth checking out. The Northcourt is a cracking little venue, Moving Pictures are playing there this Saturday. Normally a good beer on too!

This was last night at the Jam House in Birmingham. We'd been there once before to see Mamas Gun but it was packed out last night. Despite my expectations she was really good. Lots of geeing up the audience, she's a natural frontperson and she really belted them out.

She has a lot of original material to choose from; despite this her set was at least 50% covers. Fantastic versions of Tom Browne's Funkin' For Jamaica and Jacko's Remember The Time especially.

Her band is good, not great. Talented guitar player but more a heavy blues player than jazz or soul. A bit more restraint and subtlety would have gone a long way, probably true for Mica's vocals as well but there's no doubt it was a hugely spirited performance.

Do you mind me asking what you paid for Gilmore - I'm hearing some are paying €249 - that sounds way ott unless he's cooking you a meal after the gig and serenading you both with his acoustic?

Are Hackett tickets similarly priced?

Fishy

Didn't realise gilmour had a new album due in sept..

I paid £499.95 for 2 for the night before Nick is going.  Ridiculous, but gig prices are these days.  Justified as I'm taking my brother for his 60th and I'm crashing at his house, so at least it saves on hotel costs..

Paid the same as Hassan for my tickets. Steve Hackett was £84.75 (inc. fees)

When you look at what Eagles are charging for front block seats at a half built Arena Gilmour looks good value.
