It's on my list of things to go to but I fear that a) despite my advancing years, I would try and pretend I was in my 20s again with disastrous consequences, and b) it would be chav central... My thoughts too, they do something similar in Manchester with mainly 80s/90s indie tribute bands at bowlers in Manchester. It also has bez, Clint boon, Rowetta and all the other usual circuit dwellers dj’ing etc. I went once and it was 50% old men like me trying to recapture their youth and 50% coked up young chavs looking for a fight. Twas awful |

I would say it's predominantly 50-somethings like me enjoying themselves. No trouble at all. Definitely not chav central, there a broad mix I think. The local Parkrun gets a massive boost in numbers for that weekend. 250 runners on Saturday. Usually around 125-175. |

Also, it's tremendous value for money. Around £250 for a phenomenal number of bands (only a couple are tribute acts) and your accommodation.

He is lucky Al is a previous 2nd nicest person on the forum. And when you know who is number 1, second is as good as a gold medal |

I wonder how Pitchshifter are these days. I saw them so many times back in the day and they always crushed it.

In a mad twist of fate, November 2018 also had a gig watching the Prodigy in Liverpool, and also Slayer at the MEN Arena. |

They just released their Peel Sessions from the early 90s.

Saw Midge Ure at the London Palladium last night.
He was tremendous on the whole with most of his solo bangers , the Ultravox hits all present and correct and a fab cover of The Boys are Back in Town too.
His voice is still incredible and he had good support from the India Electric Company. There was a bit of a flat set list sectionwhen he did one too many maudlin tracks, but a great night enjoyed by a crowd of balding men and menopausal women who could punch the air with the best of them.
Tremendous

Karate at the Brudenell next month on my 40th and I've just bought tickets for pageninentynine and Totorro next year in Leeds too. More than happy with those, especially pageninentynine who I thought would never see on this side of the Atlantic.

Got to play it once too, an amazing place. |
