Roger McGuinn next month. Great stories about how The Byrds were influenced by so many others including The Beatles. Worth catching his tour if you can.

The gig is at The Coliseum, Aberdare, South Wales on Wednesday Nov 9th - 8pm. I've bought three tickets including one for my daughter who can't now make it. If anyone is interested I've got a spare. I'm afraid they're £26.50 but worth it. PM me if you'd like the ticket.

I saw Sonic Boom 6 last night with the excellent Crazy Arm supporting. A fun night apart from when I made the mistake of casually telling the missus I thought the girl in Sonic Boom 6 was cute so she decided to bite my tongue which has now given me cut.

Friendly Fires and Orbital. Love this funky house remix of Friendly Fires 'Paris' that I heard on the radio:

I was supposed to see friendly fires in Dallas a couple of weeks ago, but Ed got sick a couple of hours before and they cancelled :(

They're not very well known over here so they were playing a really small venue. Was really looking forward to it. I did get to have a good chat with the other Edd (guitarist) outside the venue though. Super nice guy.

So, what did you think?

Still blown away.

Never thought I'd get to see some of the older tracks again, so to hear Fairground, Fire so close, Medieval was a real pleasure. Even some of the more recent tracks surprised me, not even sure I heard Alaskan Pipeline live on the Pleased to Meet You tour.

She's a Star was so different with the orchestra and choir, yet brilliant in it's own way, and the RAH was a perfect setting.

Must admit to being slightly apprehensive before the show, particularly after having parted with a bullseye for the ticket. However, I left wishing there were more dates on the tour that I could get a ticket for.

How about you?

I thought they were excellent. I wasn't really looking forward to the gig and it didin't help that that I had heard very few hits were being played. There was a lack of the big numbers and the gig was the better for it. Tim Booth was in excellent form and you could tell he really enjoyed the format. A frontman with an average voice would have died on his arse with someof the arrangements but Tim sounded fanatstcic. It's tours like this that will keep him and the band fresh and and let's hope we have plenty more tours to come.

Edit: T shirts were shit though. Good price and choice but wafer thin when I had a good look at it when I got home. Probably the poorest quality gig t shirt I have bought <_<

Roger McGuinn at The Coliseum, Aberdare, South Wales tonight

Superb a 9 out of 10 on our Glastonbury scale. What a stunning guitarist and great stories between the songs. A sort of Byrds unplugged set. Sadly last date of his UK tour.

Note to festival organisers - a great act to consider booking. He was excellent in the Acoustic at Glasto a couple of years ago too.

    • Have you tried Anna von Hausswolff yet? Great singer, and she's from Gothenburg so guess she'll be extra excited to show her skills, especially after she unfortunately had to cancel her early summer dates.    Different style, but Oklou for me was the highlight of Primavera (apart from Geese), really enjoyable relaxed music.
    • A few bigger acts that did other similar festivals this year but not Truck, wouldn't be surprised to see one or two of these (if they're touring):   Reytons The Streets Blossoms Sophie-Ellis Bextor Rick Astley Scissor Sisters Dizzee Rascal   Truck on the undercard seems to rotate a lot of it every 2/3 years, expect to see some of these (if they're touring): Yard Act Sports Team Sea Girls Pale Waves Fat Dog Peace Swim Deep Courting   Hope Westside Cowboy and Radio Free Alice are booked again and get some bigger slots next year        
    • I read a reliable source saying there's not enough time to stress test and have worked through any major financial decisions between now and then.   So guarantees this budget will just be tinkering at the edges only.
    • Thanks @sisco. Looking forward to it!
    • Looking like will be bringing a 2-3 month old to Glastonbury next year
