And before we're reprimanded, that post is so very true.
ADMIN. You have my permission to lock this thread.

It's funny going to see stuff touring it's 20th, 30th and 40th anniversaries.

Pretty much agree there Jinger, and also NE Wildcat.

Seen a few bands over the past 12 months, most of which have done 30 years plus, also taken my youngest to one, plus another, of a more current band, and she enjoyed the older act much more than the more recent one, and that is despite the fact that they are supposedly her favourite. Also these older bands have such a vast back catalogue, that you could go to several concerts, and hear a different set list every time.

I don't APU's, I'm from Normy, we're above that.

Youre clearly obsessed with AUP's, and letting us all know of your grievence - we get it your a troll who's been locked out umpteen times before. Probably under umpteen different names and you can't wait for it to happen again so you can come back with another user name and show us just how clever you.

I feel exactly like this and I attend gigs fairly regularly these days. Give me a hot, sweaty room, mainly filled with male testosterone and... wait, am I still talking about gigs?

But yeah, love music and attending gigs and you've hit the nail on the head as for why.

April quiet so far, John Bramwell, UK Subs, Gomez, wonder stuff, need to find some more

Billy Bragg is on at Long Division this year, a good weekend event iat various locations in Wakefield City centre.

Up the Trin

I don't think it was really going to crash the forum for this to be on the old thread as it was already dead but it's a good topic so we may as well have it as it's own thread.

Personally, my life revolves around music one way or another.
Work and family life mean I don't go to the smaller gigs that I sometimes went to in the past but there is nothing better than stumbling on a live act you've never heard of who can play.
I used to go into HMV and Borders back in the day and just pick CDs up that looked vaguely like something I might like and played them on the music stand. Found some great music that way.
My tastes are as eclectic as they come. I've been to see U2, Darkness, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen but I've also been to see Madonna, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Gloria Estefan..........right through to Simply Red, Elton John even S Club 7 (who were great by the way) and Spice Girls.
I've seen Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Buddy Rich for those that know who that is
I like the country stuff too. Went to see Shania Twain and Dixie Chicks. One of my favourites is Lady Antebellum
I've seen Robbie Williams at Knebworth with 100,000 other people.

But I've seen a lot of bands where I don't even know who they are. New Roscoe in Leeds and the Hop in Wakefield where they were just convenient music at the time for a great night. They are often the best.
I found a guy at the Irish Centre I still really like called Bruce Cockburn. I'd never heard of him but friend from the US new him and dragged me along. Always play his Charity of Night album when I want to just zone out to good music while I work.

Alas I often now find good music on the soundtrack to films my kid watches, but there is some great music there too

Always regretted never seeing Thin Lizzy live, but next best thing is on at Warehouse 23 next Saturday, Limehouse Lizzy. Guitars and drums - proper music.

I really didn't appreciate how good they were first time round. Probably too young. I thought they were ok but wasn't in to them. Now, I look back and think they stand out as a top quality super group as people like to call them. Would have loved to see them live.
