Tom 14011 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Times of austerity? That's public spending not *the* public spending. Personal debt is soaring, is it not? Anyway - my only advice would be to try a website like Stubhub nearer the time & you might get a couple of tickets face value. This only really works with big events as touts or people buy a lot of tickets, try to sell them at a huge profit and tend to cut their losses nearer the time. So I'd try on the day or the day before. Right now they'll be around £300-400 or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21567 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Cheers guys, I kept on persevering and got some tickets in the end, presumably from some failed shoppers. Ed Sheeran though? Fucking hell, still don't get it. I remember queuing up for Queen tickets in the 80s and missing out: that, I understand. Would probably do it again if they resurrected Freddy. But this? Scratching my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I think it was on Twitter @Ayatollah Hermione Summed it up as "music for people who don't listen to music". i actually watched his Glastonbury set out of curiosity, most of it was utter shit but I literally burst out laughing at his "rapping" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul McLoone does a decent Feargal Sharkey impersonation. New Christs next weekend, Ed Kuepper in August, Fazerdaze in Sept, then At the Drive-in and Peter Hook's version of Joy Division/New Order in October.

Meenzer 15518 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I even forewent the Pride parade in central London to worship at the temple of Pracatan. That's some hardcore gayery right there. CT would be weeping into his Wham! B-sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Anyone with decent music taste, so PL, Alex, possibly J69, definitely not thompers, Amusement Parks on Fire are touring the UK in November and they are playing the Cluny on the 19th. Unfortunately they have never played here but from all reports they put on a decent show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff on the free stage looks canny too so get down there if the weather's decent and I'll shout all y'all a Virgin Mary. Yeehaw, etc And if that doesn't appeal, you can always go and see the Maltese lass who failed to qualify for the Eurovision final two years ago on the free stage at Pride on the Town Moor. #topweekendtips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennywise the better of the two and the best songs they played were Black Flag and Minor Threat covers I didn't realise that Hermosa Beach, a town smaller than Chester le Street, has produced The Descendents, Circle Jerks, Black Flag and Pennywise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Is it ok not to be a massive Ritchie fan? Personally I think they're a better band now - but I'm 30 so it's almost certainly a generational thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
