Spindles Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm afraid I don't. In such a situation I would be unclear on my actions. If only there had been some kind of handy guide on how I could fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Are you sure? I thought that they did play Avalon 5 or 6 years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveTLizard Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm from Maidenhead, from which not a single recognisable band has emerged, at least when I lived in High Wycombe we had Howard Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right of course! YouTuber claims 20,000 there in the Avalon!! Must have had a bigger tent in special! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 In other Courteeners news, impressive album sales for them this week in the current climate. 21k in the 1st 3 days. As a comparison, Lady GaGa did 26k in 6 days last week, Two Door Cinema Club's latest did 8k in 6 days the week before. Given they haven't had a proper hit single in 6 years and they've got no mainstream radio/press/tv support, they're doing bloody well and ought to be praised for it really.

Quark Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 From Medway. We don't have much to claim except Billy Childish (meh) and the James Taylor Quartet (yay). Truth be told I don't know what I am anymore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gozpot Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 From Colchester, We have Blur but then we get let down by also having the likes of Olly Murs and Matt Cardle from just outside the town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackHole2006 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 From Horsham. We have The Feeling. Can't say I'm too proud about that. But Crawley has The Cure and that's only down the road if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Went to a gig in Brighton last night, and I have to say that the crowd was pretty sterile. I mean, when I'm one of the only ones dancing you know it's bad. Obviously fans and knew the songs, but lots of standing appreciating it. Not the danciest (word? maybe) of bands, but certainly enough to move your feet to. Never really noticed it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgey Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Is it true Baggy Mondays at the Stonebridge Bar next year is for Northerners only, entrance to the tent is only allowed if you're wearing any Pretty Green clothing or a bucket hat to prove your Northern-ness!

You're not helping Padgey... But if it is then I will actually end up coming in like Perry to make sure I can attend. Love Baggy on the Thursday afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
