Hope so, they are at the Apollo in Manchester next week, rearranged from last year. Can't make it unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations on where to elaborate? Yeah their best stuff is split between their albums really. Stick "The Cockney Rebel – A Steve Harley Anthology" on shuffle and you'll get a good selection. Stand out tracks: Sebastian, Psychomodo, Mr Soft, I Believe Love's A Prima Donna, Mr Raffles. A Friend for Life from the recent album is lovely too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan190984 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 This looks a great line up from Avalon but no appearance yet of Newton Faulkner on any line up upsets me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMF Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Funny, I heard Judy Teen by Cockney Rebel on 6 music a couple of days back and thought I need to listen to some more Cockney Rebel, now I have the perfect excuse.

Really strong showing from Avalon this year. Absolutely! They are great live, I presume they will headline and whoever it clashes with I'll be at the Avalon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_d Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Oh, it's getting closer now! Always spend plenty of time at Avalon, whether I plan to or not. Looking forward to enjoying some new to me (and known to me) music there again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 There was a great little band in the Avalon Inn last year during the day playing rock n roll, country sort of stuff. Elvis, Jerry Lee, Cash etc. Would love to catch them again. Nice shelter from the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I was all like 'WTF is a Jesca Hoop when it's at home?' and then I realised I actually saw her at 6Music just a few weeks back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
