Cure tickets

Seems it's nearly time for our annual pilgrimage, The Cure are playing the O2, it's an NME brats show, except it's called the Shockwaves big gig now. Seems they're playing Brixton the night before but it's at the awards ceremony. I've been before, la...

The Lesson Of The Smiths

I forgot to say, recently I bought a single, an EP in fact, and it's great, and you should get it too. I was reminded of this by this email update from MJ Hibbett: Our EXCITING new single, "The Lesson Of The Smiths/The Gay Train" came out last month,...

Ride, Verve, Mercury Rev, and The Manics in Folkestone

Hmm, bit more gig history confusion... This Ride gigography says Ride played Folkestone on the 21st March, 1992. Now I look into that properly, it says support came from Mercury Rev (and not Verve, which I got from somewhere). This full Ride gigograp...

Manic Street Preachers 1994

I saw Cud and PJ Harvey at The Metronome I think in 1994. I am sure that Ride played in Folkestone on the same night as the Manics

Action Plan

Pleased to report that the band were ace last night, and so is the venue. Can't believe we've not been to The Eye before, I suppose because it doesn't look like it'll be much from the outside, but inside there's a huge doglegged space with a couple o...

Folkestone, you have embarrassed yourself

Putting on a varied bill, is it a good thing or not? I was quite entertained by pop acts being thrown onto the Reading Bill, seeing Kevin Rowland in a neglige, was a particular treat. I've even seen the Manic Street Preachers, so I've seen some bad c...

No more 106

In an attempt to make this less boring, I'll not be mentioning the 106 bus for at least a week. I was going to post up a picture of how someone had hacksawed away a part of the luggage rack on a train, but I think that would only have reinforced the ...

Saint Rose

Missed Corporation:Blend last night, but saw second support Saint Rose, very MOR, but good, much better than King Adora. I am clearly old now, as I can't think of much more to say than WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE? They are a poor man's Manics, from the pe...
