The National

[NorthernSoul52]

This will be my assumption, but we shall see.

[1986]

Serpentine Prison was a really good album and one I go back too often enough. Even if his ‘solo’ albums are just him singing with different friends it works for me.

 

Got tickets to London. I wonder if it’ll be just songs from these two albums or if he’ll throw one or two National deep cuts or some EL VY into the mix. 

[NorthernSoul52]

I think there will be a couple of cuts from The National, but I wouldn't expect them to be obvious ones.

Even just with Serpentine Prison out he didn't play any TN on that tour (at Gorilla at least, and unless I'm mistaken!), so I wouldn't count on it.

Yeah I was at Gorilla and you are correct.

[NorthernSoul52]

Maybe not then. But could see him dusting off a couple of ballads. Carin at the Liquor Store comes to mind.

It looks like there should be an O2 Presale for Union Chapel but can't see it yet.

I’ve got some tickets to stuff at Union Chapel later in the year having never been. You can book a meal in the cafe and go in earlier than the standard doors time, anyone used this to get better seats?

Yeah I pretty much always do that when I go. There's basic food, which is cooked and served by people involved in the venue's charitable project - never great, but always a decent plate of food at a decent price and their charity is worth supporting - plus a bar, and you skip the big queue outside. There's an announcement when the doors open and everyone (maybe 40 people or so) then goes through a separate side door into the venue. This door opens (in theory) at the same time as the main door (occasionally there's a communication fail and it's a bit late), but you go straight to the front of the venue and can always grab a decent spot. 

If you're in the main queue I think the views from the balcony area are much better than from the back of the ground floor and nobody ever goes up there until it's pretty full downstairs.

Never done it but never had a problem getting seats, I wouldn’t recommend sitting for longer than you need as they are very uncomfortable. You can’t bring drinks into the venue just in case you didn’t know

Does anyone remember how much he toured Serpentine Prison? I can't remember anything about it and would have just blamed it on the timing around lockdown, but Google's not helping either really... 

 

Similarly any clues on prices for the trio gigs, presume they'll be around the same as the already announced ones?

Anybody think Aaron Dessner will show up during Gracie Abrams at Glasto?

Nah.

[NorthernSoul52]

I'd think of it as unlikely. Only reckon he'd pop up for a bit of Swift.

Presale code STYROFOAM just got emailed to me, bagged the second night at the Brude, happy days 

[Dales]

Just got tickets for Union chapel worked out at £79.75 for a pair of unreserved tickets. So, cheaper then the £106.25 I paid for 2 seats at the Troxy (Although they were for  a 2 people booth).

The Brudenell sells Space Raiders, so if anybody wants to lob a few packets on stage at Matt's feet to inspire Space Invader as a song, we can try our darndest.

Has presale sold out? STYROFOAM isn't working for me
