The Elusive Chanteuse

No Tank and the Bangas this year (gigs in US)..

But I have tickets to see them in London on August 30th.  Get 'em while you can.

Pure force of nature.

Very good at Big Weekend, should be be equally excellent at Glastonbury, Pyramid stage though, I worry, too big. too soon, I'll be there nonetheless.

Love, love, love Joy Crookes.

Smile with the Brixton Sun.......

Megan Thee Stallion and Róisín Murphy clash. This is a bad one for me. I'll probably try and catch a bit of both and decide which to see the finale of on the night.

This is the more likely of the two. though I'm genuinely undecided.

Regardless I will try and be there for Róisín's 10 mins at NYC Downlow.

Last time the festival happened, this went down.

Similar events await.

Anticipation is class.

Lianne La Havas has an afternoon slot at West Holts.

Do not miss this.

 

[bamber]

Only the very brave and very talented cover this one. Ex-factor. Lianne La Havas .

Some scenarios are the stuff of dreams.

 

[bamber]

Glastonbury has a justified reputation for getting the really big acts.

Never got this one.

2nd post in this thread from 2014 here again re-posted for you all to enjoy if you have eardrums. It has always been about Mariah Carey here. Big Notes

Now, Diana Ross...

I'll be missing this. Not out of hate, I have a work shift.

She has one of the truly great voices, one I would love to hear. She still can hit those high notes too at 80 years by many accounts.

The problem is the songs, almost all of them are total shite. I'm sorry, but that is just true.

This is the best of a bad bunch yet remarkable in every way.

 

[bamber]

None of us like to talk about lockdown and all that went down over the past few years, best forgotten.

This one here was a big factor in getting me for one through all that though. *

I'll say that.

Sublime. B X.

*Check the piano break around the four minute mark if you need specification

Anybody see Jesse in Isle of Mann last weekend?

I'd have loved to have been there.

This one warms my soul. It does.

I'm not imploring anyone to do anything.

But this one warms the soul.

I've been over-exposing myself over in the Metal thread.

I feel safer here.

Few venture here, *

I saw Tom Tom Club feat.Tina Weymouth at he Wag Club in Soho. London  circa 1989.

Still probably the best gig of my life, and I have been to loads of gigs.

[bamber]

Jessie J magnificent in Camden tonight,  just magnificent.  Apparently it was recorded.  I'll post it if it was. 

[bamber]

OK here we go.

I get this is not everyone's bag

I was there, and it was magnificent.

Say what you like. I mean it. Say what you like.

Misfits,  All of us*

Shame and regret for missing this. It happens. You can not see it all. Congratulations to everyone who made it for Little Dragon...

This thread is incomplete without a nod to this lot.

The wheel turns, always.

Near Pilton, late June I reckon.
