I saw them at the Manchester Apollo earlier on this year and they were superb.

they were excellent at this year's glastonbury as well

Did anyone make it to A>>>>>> in Leeds last night? Cracking gig, might even go to see them in Manchester tomorrow now. Jason said after it's going to be an anuual Xmas tour.

Can't remember the full set list but they played; Old Folks, Nothing, Ocean Pacific Blue, Lake Tahoe, Foghorn. Packed venue and lively mosh pit, took me back 10 years in a flash.

no starbucks? really like that album (hi fi serious) its a good fun record. off to see alice in chains on sunday

Pretty sure they did. Alice In Chains - cool, saw them many years ago. Great live band.

Remember seeing motorhead a couple of times at leeds queens hall in the early 80s, think the music was a bit naff but amosphere was good, did a bit of "casual" work at that time for solid entertainments when bands used to be at city hall, had a regular job at the time but if it was a band i liked i used to throw a sickie and go work there instead, get all the gear in during day, go headbanging forra couple of hours on pay then get all the gear back in the wagons afterwards, was always knackered by the time got finished usually well into the early hours but i loved it. one particular time when saxon was here always sticks in my mind, how we got that 3/4 tonne eagle of theirs up them stairs without trashing any of city halls wall paintings god only knows

Going Quoing on sat 19th at hull city hall

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL MEMORIES!!
loudest I ever saw at HCH was by far a band called Budgie!!
closely followed by Saxon
worst was Wishbone , utter poop...

Saw Motorhead on New Years Eve 2001 in Ft Lauderdale FL on the Beach, a sort of beach version of Monsters of Rock with Whitesnake, journey etc... awesome!!
and some serious eye candy too

For anyone tempted A>>>>> are playing the Rescue Rooms in Nottingham tonight. I'm recovering from a party last night so haven't made my mind up whether I'm going to go yet.

U2 definitely confirmed - always being one of those bands you'd watch but wouldn't go out of your way to for me. Heard Muse are nailed on for the Saturday night which would be good.

Squeeze have self confirmed for 2010.Always been one of my favorite bands seen them numerous times.
FANTASTIC

Oh and by the way The Wurzells are also playing,certainly one to miss.

looking forward to squeeze - they are one of those bands when you go to see them you are always surprised by just how many hits they have had.

alice in chains were superb on sunday in nottingham - played 1 hour 50 mins and did all the hits plus some acoustic stuff. new album material sounded great too - well worth a purchase for anyone who likes grungy rock

I'll check it out, Diggers just got back from California, he said AIC were getting played everywhere. They're the band of the moment out there.

I've got no other gig's lined up at the moment, other than tickets for the reformed Reef in April.
