Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

Fontaines over the weekend. The band of the moment, for sure. Sound so good/tight.

 

Headliners in the years that follow the fallow year, I suspect, pending another strong record.

Vampire weekend at Manchester apollo last night great fun crowd in good form .

Great set well over 2 hours .

Slightly strange encore of doing covers that crowd shouted out bit hit and miss .

But the main show was great

Hard-Fi at Leeds University Union last Friday were in very good nick, better than I must say I expected.

 

Paul Heaton on the Saturday at First Direct Arena was reliably excellent, as always, though I do wish that he had taken his short "hits" tour into the bigger venues.

Great! Glad they are still putting on a good show. Seeing them on Weds and really looking forward to it. Will get thinking of a song for the encore then…

Agreed, great set, really enjoyed it - foregoing support to do an extended set ended up working well, thoroughly entertained throughout now they have the discography to back up a longer show.

 

Laughed when someone requested Neutral Milk Hotel and he tried to start remembering how it went, probably about five people in the room (me included!) would have known it enough to sing along.

I know some people who saw Paul Heaton at Bridlington the other day, and they said he was amazing. I love him, got to admit 😁

Fabulous songwriter. Old Red Eyes is Back is such a wonderfully caustic singalong.
