Next Gig you are going to go to...........

[unc.si]

Mary in the Junkyard on Monday and JJerome87 (lead singer of Alt-j) on Tuesday. David Byrne on the 18th and I've also managed to double book Yard Act and Flaming Lips on the 21st

Will have to miss out on Yard Act but I am seeing them later in the year as well so no big deal I guess. Think I need a gig spreadsheet

Mary in the Junkyard were excellent. Just a small early evening album release gig but they played a pretty full set, just over an hour, of 13 songs, mostly from the album but some older tracks as well (Role Model Hermit is their debut full album but they've released a few EP's over the last few years).

Great album and definitely one to watch out for.

Going to need to get there early tomorrow for JJerome87. Tickets sold out fast so its going to be rammed

We are seeing Kate Rusby on Thursday.

Was that the one at the Cathedral? What a great setting. It’s a massive space though - tough gig for a folk singer but if anyone can pull it off it would be her.

Been to a few at the cathedral. It is impressive.

The Cologne cathedral is the coolest.

Great album release gig from JJerome87. Fantastic to hear some of the inspiration behind the songs and lots of chat with the audience. He’s a great singer as well. No alt-J stuff, just songs off the new album (which is a contender for album of the year for me). Had a good chat with him afterwards as well.

Nothing now until a week on Saturday. David Byrne at the Piece Hall

Yes! I went in Cologne cathedral with friends. I saved photos, it's really the coolest murf.

I was there recently (around 45 years ago!) and my most vivid memory is the climb up the tower - back then it was an open scaffold tower of a staircase, and I'm not the best with heights. Had to be done though! Is it still the same?

[murf]

Was only slightly more recently that I was there!

We travelled on to West Berlin (pre unification but wall had just come down). Not many stops in between for some reason!

Bringing it back on thread(ish), we went to see Roger Waters perform The Wall. Momentous occasion. Rubbish concert.

She was wonderful. The band with her were incredible as was the sound.
