The Beta Band NME Brats show, lovely write up: [quote]Flash forward a few years to the Beta Band in January 2000, at an NME Brats show. I don't really remember much, other than that I was with a big group of my gigging mates in the upstairs bit, we were all trolleyed o Astoria
The Rub Reni out of the Stone Roses and his band... was looking forward to this a lot, but it was absolutely shocking. Camden Underworld

Suede Teenage Cancer Trust gig. The long awaited Suede Reunion, without Bernard Butler though unfortunately. Royal Albert Hall
