Gonna be at Pa Beamish’s 70th Birthday do that evening. If I wasn’t there, I’d probably be washing my hair that evening, anyway.

No! But I will be attending Florence & the Machine Wednesday 7th of August at Princes st gardens in Edinburgh, I think my gig might be a tad more exciting than yours Macca,although they are both gingers,anyone seen Florence live it's meant to be quite a show?

Was looking for some local stuff last night with the Mrs and after a few pink gins saw Ed was on in some park in Leeds with Lewis Capaldi, she loves Ed, I love head, I dont mind Capaldi, and Darkness could be fun, so thought why not.
Will ditch the kids and dog for 24 hours, and make it an all day and night job.
Only £170 for 2 tickets, thought was good deal.
On the topic of bands, is there any anual stuff locally where local bands perform.
I here about the big park stuff, and some of the younger end of our mates etc go, but they don't seem my cup of tea with what goes on there with the stories they tell on their return.

There is no "risk it" opportunity to get from Roundhay Park to Leeds train station in 30 minutes after a gig.

If Ed Sheeran was on in my back yard I'd close the curtains
Joking aside get yourself up the Blues fest in Colne. Always a great weekend, especially if the weather's decent, lots of great local bands on and a great atmosphere.

I'm currently listening to The Beatles on Gold radio with a coffee, I'll then stick on my love play list wholst in the shower/getting ready which features the likes of Celine Dion, Leann Rimes and Christina Perri before heading out in the car with "the bands" play list on featuring the likes of Oasis, The Courteeners, Stone Roses and Razorlight.
I listen to anything and everything
Re: Ed Sheeran Leeds Friday 16th August
Edit - I'm glad you didn't mock my choices of drinks from last night's that included pink gins and summer fruit vodkas.

Re: Ed Sheeran Leeds Friday 16th August
Only if you were lucky enough to get straight in a taxi or an Uber, which is pretty unlikely. Even then with the amount of traffic round Roundhay you'd be struggling. I'd say try and stay in Leeds or leave the gig a bit early.MACCA wrote:Is it do able in 30 mins?

Cheers so its stay over or Taxi home job, the latter is possibly best.
Now its operation to see if anyone else local is going to possibly share a taxi/lift.

Cheers I'll look into it.
If not, I'm usually good at winging stuff when p1ssed anyway.
I always get home somehow
Re: Ed Sheeran Leeds Friday 16th August
We'd love to go but unfortunately the knees won't cope with standing. Hopefully a seated venue in the not so distant future.

Cheers for the offer, but if we've got 24 hours free from the kids it'll be hotel or home.
Will be making the most of it...
Cant see a taxi being more than £50
Will be out in Leeds before hand for food and beers so if you want to meet for a pint there or in the venue give me a shout.
Might even go out afterwards or the casino or something, all depends how dolloped I am

Going to get the train there and make a day of it, then there's a shuttle bus from the station to the venue and back, so no rush. Can just order a taxi if we miss the train, and have a pint whilst we wait.
It's due to finish at 22:30, so hardly late.

I do like Ed Sheeran though - a very talented young man who has got big by working hard, not sitting in his bedroom with a computer/studio. Apparently did tons of gigs before he made it - old style.

Sounds like a plan. I have booked a half day at work so I should be setting off around 1 or 2pm. 45 quid sounds more than reasonable especially if shared too.

Fully agree, cant grumble at that price.
Think we're making a day of it, sofi you want to meet upon Leeds when you land before going to the venue, let me know. I'll message you with my number on the book of faces.

He attended the Academy of Contemporary Music at some place or another, that's way off 'old style' and typical of the current middle class b0ll0cks that pertains to be contemporary music.
In my opinion.

Re: Ed Sheeran Leeds Friday 16th August
And Rick Wakeman attended the Royal College of Music but that doesn't stop him from being one of the finest keyboard players in the world. I don't know what Sheeran attended but I do know he worked hard to get where he is and he's a damn fine songwriter to boot.In fact when you look back down the history of modern music you find that so many bands, legends in some cases, were formed at universities when that level of education was very 'middle class'. Even Elton John had a classical training back ground.dougcollins wrote:He attended the Academy of Contemporary Music at some place or another, that's way off 'old style' and typical of the current middle class b0ll0cks that pertains to be contemporary music.

Don't knock the lad for his background mate, just take him for what he is, a very good songwriter.

Re: Ed Sheeran Leeds Friday 16th August
Absolutely. I love most forms of music (apart from soul) but 'prog' is my number one choice (I was in a prog band years ago and yes, we were self-indulgent and overbearing ). It's all down to personal choice as you say. I actually liked punk as well because it did change things but it was created by Malcolm McLaren so it wasn't quite the rebellious movement that it first appeared to be but it was still good for all that. Incidentally I love John Lydon as a character - a true eccentric. He denounced all things prog when with the Pistols but has since gone on record as saying he actually loves Van der Graf Generator and Peter Hammill and has also admitted that one of his targets at the time, Pink Floyd, are 'really quite good'.Devils_Advocate wrote:Nor did it stop him from producing a load of over indulgent, pretentious, middle of the road clap trap synonymous with the awful progressive rock bands of the 70's

Music, like art in general, is totally subjective and therefore it is difficult to criticise any form of it really, it's a bit like saying toast is better than steak when really it's all down to taste.
