I'm seeing them at the Cluny, so not a massive space. Saying that Mogwai were tremendous at Northumberia University, one of the best gigs I've ever been to. Jonny, the venue was small, a couple of hundred people and the singer spent as much time in the audience as he did on stage. Good to hear Mogwai are on form. I see Ty Segall is playing the Boiler Shop in Newcastle in June, he's great live and worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13866 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 20 odd quid for Ty Segall though which can, in all truth, shove itself up its arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS, 20 quid is nothing, Shame cost the equivalant of that to see them here. It costs a lot for small artist to tour internationally. These poor fuckers deserve to make enough to survive, it's not like they're Radiohead or worse, Coldplay and making millions. I'd hazard a guess Ty Segall barely makes the average wage. 28 minutes ago, Alex said: Any relation to Steven?

Gene_Clark 12 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Obviously it's gigs 2018.... After having only seen Mogwai (who were excellent) so far this year, I'm off to The Cumberland tomorrow for ex Loft & Weather Prophets C86 demi god Pete Astor. In April, I'm taking a trip to Leeds on Saturday 14th for Mekons 77 at The Brudenell. May will see Yo La Tengo, also in Leeds at Church on Thursday 3rd, then Swervedriver at the hideous Academy on 15th. Back there June 8th for The Wedding Present. Last one on the horizon is The Band of Holy Joy at Tynemouth CIU club on Saturday 7th July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21623 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Aye, because I don't want to start a thread on it, and there's no plays/musicals 2018 thread, I'll put it here. Went to see Sting's "Last Ship" musical this afternoon (matinee). It was seriously superb. Last show at the northern stage is 7th April. Honestly, if you're remotely open minded, give it a go. The musical was a flop on release on Broadway. Hardly surprising considering the Geordie vernacular throughout though. But, the music was good (coming from someone who's not a fan of Sting), acting and performance good, and the visuals amazing. Also a poignant story and reminder from recent history (1960s to 80s wallsend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heatonrifles 18 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 This is good to read. My mother bought me and the mrs tickets for it, and I was anticipating a long night. He also commissioned an impressive picture of the area which was up at the Laing a while ago. huge arial image of the Tyne from Walker to wide open pretty much, with little family anecdotes here and there...I think. i haven’t done it justice, to be fair.

ewerk 30610 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I’m currently watching the Manic’s performance and it’s a reminder that ‘festival’ appearances are invariably shite. I think you were better off going to see him alone. Sounded like he was doing a solid 2.5 hours with an amazing band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21921 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 cunts i wasn't even tempted to queue for one. the band were great but the 02 is a fucking shit venue. 25 minute queue to get in, which we had to endure twice because the eticket barcode doesn't suffice - they make you go to the front of the venue to print off a paper ticket, another massive queue to do this because nowhere on the eticket did it say that there was no admission without a paper ticket. once we finally got in, half the bars were shut so the queues for the bars that were open were absolutely massive - you'd be completely sober by the time you got served.

Meenzer 15526 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The O2 is shite, aye. I don't like arena gigs anyway so I usually only end up there if it's someone I really want to see and I've been able to pick up tickets for nowt on StubHub or similar, which also makes it easier to resent the drinks queues (and prices) less. Still sterile though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
