Spontaneously went to The Ship for dinner yesterday, and while we were there I booked tickets for The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust at Festival Hall in July. Both boys want to come to this one!
David Bowie’s defiant fifth album is reimagined in incandescent fashion by David McAlmont, Brian Molko, Camille O’Sullivan, Peaches and Nadine Shah.
And after that wife started looking at some improvised theatre thing with surprise special guests in that we might book today. She's hoping it will have Ian McKellan in it but I think he is one guest confirmed for one day over the two week run... We'll look again later and hope it is still available.
Before our spontaneous meal out I had a nice parkrun and then some record shopping. Went to Vintage And Vinyl and bought the Geese album and took a chance on an EP by Zombie Killers, they're playing in the old Chambers next week. I have officially put my Misfits album up for sale, without opening it.
Oh I new yesterday was a memorable date in gigging history, it was the first time I saw Oasis, second of May 1994, at the Wedgewood Rooms. Also thirty years since Shed Seven at the Pyramids.
Got up early for cricket club but it has been rained off.
Thundery showers and a gentle breeze, 8 - 16℃.
