Gigs Thread

Two pints for just shy of £20 at the Arena?! I wouldn’t expect to pay that in London.

Surely he was overcharged unless they really are taking the piss now.

Taking the piss I'm afraid. I didn't realise at the gig, it was only today when he rang me up for a chat that he told me how much it had cost him, robbing barstewards!!
 
Just been to see James at the On The Waterfront festival in Liverpool. As always they were excellent and the setlist was a cracker. Heavens opened after Red Rum Club though and pissed it down for 20 mins with no shelter so was stood in soaking clothes for almost 4 hrs which wasnt great. Strange venue.

Just listening to Pulp's soundcheck for tonight's Castlefield Bowl gig from our flat. Disco 2000 is sounding great!
 
Made a late decision to head to Wembley this Sunday for Blur.
Got a relatively cheap ticket from Twickets this afternoon, and curfew being 10pm means can still get back to the Midlands without overnighting.

Shed Seven in Leeds on 15th July, and James (with a stellar support of Editors, Maximo Park and Pigeon Detectives) in Darlington on 5th August coming up too.

Inspiral Carpets and Blossoms tomorrow at Castlefield Bowl. Not been there before, are there decent food and drink options or best doing that before?

I'm also going there. On Liverpool Road near the entrance you have Cask, the White Lion & the Oxnoble pubwise, and an Italian restaurant, a chippy (with sit in upstairs), Rump & Ribs, Big Licks ice cream & burgers, Akbar's Indian restaurant, a Japanese place & Jimmy's Killer Prawns.
I'd eat and drink before you enter the Bowl as the prices there are extortionate.

We're eating in town after work. Loads of nearby options to choose from.
And the weather forecast looks OK now too which is a bonus!

Thanks all, before it is then!

Cask is my favourite pub on the road, although it's the smallest, but they let you bring your fish & chips from next door in there.
The Oxnoble has a decent beer and food range but the landlord is both miserable & a Rag so probably best avoided!

Saw James on their #JamesLasted tour last night - unbelievable!!!! They are amazing live but that took it to a new level

I was there too. Fantastic show. Tim Booth was brilliant: cut right through the orchestra/choir wall of sound. I’ve seen James loads of times and they never disappoint, but this show was their best.

They were brilliant at Liverpool the other night. Superb live band. I’ve seen them about 10 times, maybe more and all have been great. They get better the older they get.
