So long Astoria

Catching up on what friends have to say, and I find out from Darryl that there is a closing date for the Astoria, LA2, and Metro. The sites of some great gigs, key moments of my time in London probably. A shame. Think my first time there was to see U...

Bernard Butler

We were in the Phoenix artists bar last night before The Tears gig, precisely because it's the kind of place where you might spot somebody... And LO! There was Saint Bernard Butler, dressed like a student in a big coat and hat. I nearly snapped him o...

Ricardo

It's a bit crap putting reality TV types up here (he was the Brazillian hairdresser from "The Salon"), but he's quite an entertainer by all accounts, he tends to dress as a lady when he's going to showbizzy type affairs, but at Suede on Saturday Nigh...

Mike Leigh

I was expecting to see a big bundle of celebs at the last ever Suede gig at the Astoria on Saturday night, but as we stood downstairs I missed all the usual melee in the Keith Moon Bar... I DID however see Mike Leigh in the Phoenix Theatre bar before...

Suede @ London Astoria

Man I'm spending too much on gigs, but it's turning into a really good year for good bands touring... Just got Suede tickets, it's good that they've added a new date at a smaller venue... Also GOOD that it's a Saturday night, we can really make a day...

Belle and Sebastian @ London Astoria

Well, this is the day we've picked, hope it's a good 'un...

Sophie Ellis Bextor

Saw Sophie in the bar of The Darkness gig last night, and also at the after show. Thought of telling her I'd heard she was dead, but I expect she's had that a lot.

Ralph Little

Saw our Anthony in the Phoenix bar before The Darkness gig at the Astoria, also in the Astoria, and also at the after show party, at Rouge, also on Charing Cross road. He was following me around....

Mark Owen

Saw little Mark Owen first of all in the queue for the queue outside the Astoria for the Darkness homecoming gig. Yes, queueing outside, like everyone else, there's a man who's not lost the common touch. He had long hair, and a sparkly top on. Saw hi...

Don't Let The Bells End

Let's set aside for a moment that any sort of "homecoming" for The Darkness should certainly be at The Barfly in London's very own Camden Town, as it's where they did their first half a dozen or so proper gigs. Last night's show at The Astoria was a ...

Joel and Steve

We spotted Joel and Steve from Athlete at the packed out Grandaddy gig at the Astoria last night. That is all.

Phil Daniels

Blur brough Phil Daniels on at their gig last night... oh no thought the crowd... but NO Parklife! They possibly did a song called My White Noise instead, it's track zero on the new album Think Tank......

Steve Lamacq

He introduced Blur, last night, 12th May.

A Libertine

The singer probably, he barged past us in the bar. Last night at Blur. Zzzzz...

Apparently Zoe and Norm were there too, my mate saw them. But I didn't.

Athlete

What were they doing supporting Blur? It's only two weeks since they headlined and sold out the same venue.... anyway, spotting them on the stage doesn't count at all, but I noticed them being bigged up by their possee in the "VIP" bit of the Astoria...

Giiiigs, is there no end

Blur were ace last night at the Astoria, much more of a mix of old and new than I expected, which was a treat as I don't know the new album. New guitarist stood like a sessionist, not drawing attention to himself either with presence or ability reall...

Light Bulb Head

The guy with the big head (sorry, don't know the name) from BBC Choice Liquid News was at the Athlete gig last night. Other than that it was completely bereft of celebs. And music fans.

Ricky Gervais

Just saw him a minute ago; at about 4.15 on Wed 16 April. He was walking along in the sunshine looking quite pleased with his lot. I would be if I was him; he looked like he was going to have a nice sit down in Soho Sq, while I've had to go back to m...

I was in the queue for this gig and bought a fanzine off someone. Did I know Metallica were doing a secret gig just a few doors down at the Marquee club? Why on earth did I stay at the Astoria? Bah......
