Strange ebay shop

These are not just adverts, these are original adverts for products you will recognise, hand cut from pages of the NME and the Melody Maker, and lovingly posted to you in a cardboard tube. Um, yes, bargain. Plenty of old NMEs around, cut out all the ...

2 secret gigs in one night

I'd rather have been here than at either of them. Hmm actually that Blur gig seemed to be over pretty early, think it would have been possible to leave there and make it to this Pixies gig too:I would have been prepared to give up one night of nappie...

Blur warmup at Rough Trade East RIGHT NOW!

got lots of gigs and events here, all around the world

Why remove this one?

Full refund if you kept your Oasis ticket!

What any ticket? I have loads! Oh only for the recent Manchester show......

So people say Cream never played at Toft's...

What's this all about then?Thanks to Simon Brint for this ticket scan...People say it wasn't Tofts, it was Mick's Flamenco Club (more recently Pipers), so did Toft's move more than once? Or did Tofts move the gig? Or did they promote the gig at anoth...

Why don't local venues send me listings like this?

Actually why don't we have any local venues putting on this quantity of gigs? I can't complain too loud I suppose, as the Cheesegrater has put some shows on and I've not been along yet, but harrumpf anyway. This is from York Fibbers:Hi, this is a lis...

Updating my gigography

Got some quiet time, Clare is at yoga so playing on the internets. I'm sure I have some more serious stuff to be doing with a baby due in under a week, got lots of bits of broken DIY around the place, but I'm putting them off for now...See unofficial...

Folkestone Festival is looking good!

Bit of a retro lineup among the headliners of Folkestone Festival but that's exactly what's needed to get the thirty somethings buying tickets I think. Looking forward to this.Artists so far include Feeder, Ash, Gary Numan, Hundred Reasons, Kids In G...

Folkestone Festival!

On the Rotunda land on the 1st August! Odd announcement what with the Zoo fest deciding not to go ahead. All power to this one, let's support it and please no-one send out misleading press releases slagging them off!Email or twitter me for the addres...

Michael Jackson tickets, premier seats in block A

Red List Live festival cancelled for this year :-(

Friend just got a press release (I did not) the festival has been postponed until 2010 based on the unacceptable risk of doing a festival in the current economic climate. Established local festivals were expected to have a greater impact than first e...

More lineup info for Red List Live

See the official lineup, lots of ageing punks! Can't see this being much of a draw for the young people, but perhaps that's the plan..?Red List Stage * The Wombats * The Zutons * Klaus Says Buy The Record * Lights Go Blue * LongviewRLL...

Surveillance society

Bad Google street view, you can't be monitoring us the whole time! I'm glad people with the moral fibre of the Evening Standard are standing up to Google.I went to Paddington at the weekend. It wasn't my destination, just a stop off on my way to Exet...

I didn't realise Pete Doherty was in Folkestone tonight

Or rather Peter Doherty as he would like to be know now. Enjoy if you're going, hope he turns up.Tonight I am at the Goldie Lookin' Chain in Exeter! I was quite a fan, but I'm not following them around the country or anything, it's a friend's birthda...

Madchester Reunited FAIL

Ah well John Squire seems to definitively put those Stone Roses reunion rumours to rest, here on Newsnight. Just in case the image on his website wasn't clear enough. Reckon it was all his choice though? Maybe he found out Ian Brown was not up for it...

More Monkey business

Read about it here at www.guardian.co.uk, rather than on The Mirror where they got it from... It makes sense, but it's probably nonsense. If it is true, I hope they don't play the O2.Madchester Reunited though, that is a good headline. I think they c...

Michael Jackson to play the O2

Sky News says there will be an official announcement and possible press conference tomorrow. I won't be going, just in case we get stuck with duff seats like last time.Body & Soul @ Ruby Lo, Michael Jackson Tribute 10/07/09 RubyLo Michael Jackson Par...

Still no review of The Cure then

Had a good time at the gig, though as previously mentioned our seats were shocking. I'm not a fan of big gigs like that anyway, but would prefer not to go again than to be stuck at the back like that. Check the block you're being offered before confi...

Would have had a better view from Google Earth

Been too busy at work today to think about writing up last night's Cure gig, but for starters here's the view from our seats:Even worse than I though :-(No time to write more now, dinner is ready, watching a bit of Question of Sport and then rugby, a...

The Wombats to headline Red List Live

Of course, why didn't I think of them when I was after animal named bands to headline this zoo festival? Apart from them being indie no marks I mean, who an old giffer like me would not have called a headliner.We are very happy to announce The Wombat...

PLEASE NOTE Seats located on Level 4 (Upper Tier, Upper Bowl) are not recommended for those who have a fear of heights

Was talking to a friend yesterday who was too afraid to stand up when she went to the O2 because her seat was too high up. I'm sure it won't be that bad, I am building it up a bit for comic effect, but crikey. Also: Please note there are planned engi...
