  1. Moby, I think? 2000, Friday evening?
  2. Hmmm; the way that statement is worded doesn't exactly fill me with confidence that everything is OK at Standon Towers.

    2023 New Music

    Loving the Mary Wallopers record. Obviously very red Roses For Me-influenced but also the Dubs and the Clancy's. It's great, rollicking stuff from start to finish.
  4. Where would Waits play(if he ever did, which of course he wouldn't)? Crowd size I reckon WH headliner but he'd probably insist on Acoustic and that would mean my finally seeing him wouldn't really involve my 'seeing' him.
  5. Mary Wallopers in Acoustic. Strong Red Roses-era Pogues vibes going on, should be a hoot.
  6. Lucky you! It's wonderful, best thing I've seen on stage in ages. You'll have a ball. 🙂
  7. Operation Mincemeat at the Fortune Theatre. A fun little show, if a little close to tedious door-slamming farce at times. Almost certainly not deserving of all the 5 star reviews it's getting but a still a good night out. And one absolute tear-jerker tune that stands out a mile. Cabaret at the Playhouse is still the bees-knees. Seen it pretty much sitting on stage with Redmayne and Buckley, and with the new cast up in the gods. Works just as well in the cheap seats, I reckon. Groundhog Day this week. Can't wait!

    Avalon 2023

    Poor Leftfield Announcement Day, having its discssion nicked from under its feet.
  9. Guys And Dolls at The Bridge last night. Pretty much the perfect night out at the theatre. Wonderful staging, barnstorming performance from Marisha Wallace backed up by across the board strong cast and just so much fun. It's a pretty flimsy story, of course, but the production just oozes charm and energy. And Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat was the absolute epitome of a show-stopper.
  10. Does anyone have much experience of the speed Big Ground fills up on Wednesday? Specifically the top end, towards the farm rather than the Pyramid. Our plan it to be arriving into the car parks at about 7am on the Wed morning with 2 smallish tents. Am I kidding myself in thinking we'll find a spot for 2 tents by lunchtime (maybe, queue allowing?) on the Wednesday?
  11. Really surprised to not see them on the WH line up. Had just assumed they'd be there in a sunset slot. Shame.

    Legend of legends

    The first one was probably Tom Jones in 92. Wasn't announced at all; was listed as 'a special guest we can't announce' on all the posters and ads in the music press. He went down an absolute storm, natch.
