Which artists are you seeing in 2009?

Salonen's last concerts with the LA Phil and one of Dudamel's.

Wish i could see Pink Martini at Disney on New Years Eve, I heard last time was quite a show, each piece built on the last till there was a cast of hundreds dancing in the aisles.

The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields with Neville Marriner in January.

So far in March Metallica

Bob Dylan
Eric Clapton

Could I ask again that this thread is made a "sticky" so that it remains in sight and a reference /reminder for all.

Thankyou.

I'm off to see The Specials in May.

Better dust off that trilby.

Oops, I was of course thinking of "There ain't halfbeen some clver b*stards" but that's not what I meant

Jeff Beck at The Convention Centre in Brisbane - January 29th. Last time I saw him was at Hammersmith Odeon (I think it was still the Odeon then) in about 1990 when he toured the Guitar Shop album. Looking forward to this big time.

Possibly The Who (should be "Who's Left" actually ) at the Entertainment Centre in March.

Cheers
Scott.

They still do a bloody good show.


Our first gig of the year this Thursday, Richard Thompson at the Barbican.

Half Man Half Biscuit on the 20th May. Legends.

.....Ok not actually confirmed yet but ....

According to Jim Pugh (one of their horn players) and drummer Keith Carlock ....AND the Daily Telegraph (?)

....Steely Dan are deffo touring GB and Europe this year ...keep a look out folks!

Richard Thompson superb show as usual. I can't think that any else could carry off playing tunes from the last 1000 years. Clever b*stard.

They seem like a good band, but didn't they once get a bad review concerning the gig at Deptford Abyss. Still who the hell does Jeff Dreadnought think he is? Was he even there? Does he even care? I know Nigel's girlfriend’s was fuming. Still we know what Mr Dreadnought looks like so he'd better not come near Stroud.

Let's all hope that the green shoots of recovery are not shrivelled up in harsh tomorrows

ATB Rotf

So c'mon you guys, lets pedestrianise the high street

Only 3 gigs lined up this year, as times are a tad tough financially. All 3 are at the Royal Albert Hall and all within the space of a week in May! Jackson Browne, Eric Clapton and George Thoroughgood.

George Thorogood even.

Is that thoroughly Thorogood?

Bob Dylan - Geneva - April

first time for everything!!
