This lineup is proper sexy. This'll be my 7th Bearded (I think) since first going in 2010 when it was headlined by The King Blues and Dreadzone, and I cannot wait to get there and unwind x

I do clean pants on the Sunday

Yet to be proved whether Ray Dorset is Gaz Coombes' dad and responsible for another pop travesty however

Got it - In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry. Advocates drink driving and class divisions, as well as being sh*t

I fear that I am well and truly broken inside, but this thread is giving me the right horn

Plus a slight fluctuation in the stock market then back to worrying about not offending people

Dreadzone at the Wedgewood Rooms in Pompey. Absolutely joyous and Spee was on top form. Near enough to a perfect playlist for me 😀 I've seen them consistently every year since they opened the Glastonbury Main Stage in 94 and they're always fun👍

Therapy? at Concorde in Brighton was awesome. Bloody love that venue, really friendly staff and nice crowd. Support band Bokassa were varied and good fun. Therapy? brought gorgeous energy and loudness and there were (for me) some less traditional gems in the setlist. However Potato Junkie, Teethgrinder and Nowhere blew my old man socks off 👍

The Levellers had a bloke come onstage who kicked himself in the face after the crowd donated enough money to a good cause. Added a nice touch to the show

I would like to see this happen more often! Many moons ago I saw Prophets Of Da City play and during their set a couple of graffiti artists decorated the backdrop of the stage with a mural which they finished at the last song, which was nice. I seem to remember a skate ramp and some skateboarders on stage too - this may all have been a fever dream though, my 1990s were very misspent 🙂

I need to know - what did they paint?

Saw Billy Bragg at Portsmouth Guildhall last night. I've seen him here and there since the mid 90s but for me last night's show was the best. Great setlist and I loved the stories in between. He could easily just churn out the hits after 40 years but instead the passion, anger and humour sets him apart from the rest. I don't listen to his albums that often, but I realised last night how many of his lyrics have permanent residence in my head instead of 'more important' stuff like birthdays and names :-) I liked the compilation film of his 40 year career instead of a support act, although it really hit home how much has (and sadly hasn't) changed in that time. It was also nice not being the oldest person in the crowd for change 🙂

This lineup has given me the horn. Great stuff. Jane's Addiction, Dinosaur Jr and Orbital - straight in the mainline x

Utah Saints and PWEI and the 229 Club in London. Utah Saints were great, poppies were incredible - the setlist was like a fever-dream for me, great fun and some tunes I've wanted to hear live for 3 decades. Nice venue too, aircon was a godsend and the staff were nice

Saw them a couple of years back at Wickham without Shelley. I only know the big songs but the band sounded great and really tight
