Confidence Man at Brixton last night (the tckts bought while at the services en-route to Glastonbury this year!). Felt more produced and polished compared to the rawness of their earlier gigs but that's understandable I guess and they put on a great show. Ended up at the front as was in early for the support and the crowd was a good mix (said as an oldish git). They know how to get a party going and I really enjoyed it, a great buzz.
Fcuckers supporting were v.good. I knew they had done some stuff with LCD Soundsystem who I am a big fan of so was interested to see them. They put on a great set and got the crowd going which not always easy as a support, and were a perfect match. Will be looking out for them.
My first time back at Brixton since it reopened and getting in is a bit of a faff now, having to go a long way round the block in the queue system (which was frustrating but understandable given what happened). So was grateful to be there early. The support came on at least 20 mins later than the set times scribbled on a board inside the foyer and a steward said that was because of the crowd outside. So I'd recommend getting in early if going tonight. But great to be back there - it's a brilliant gig venue imo.
Weather has been bad enough on Merseyside that Everton v Liverpool has been canned.
Feels like it's been a while for the weather to get in the way at PL level, let alone such a high-profile contest, but I'm aware sport is not operating in a vacuum independent of the weather. I know it's usual this time of year for EFL and non-league games to get postponed, and indeed several already have this weekend as they were for Storm Bert a couple of weeks back.
