Went with the Da to the 1980 semi at Villa Park against the ammers.

I remember he couldn't get a pint for about a mile outside the ground. Eventually got one at some boozer with a massive car park. A West Ham coach pulled up, already loads of blues there, and we feared the worse, but actually was a great hour or two. He got talking to a couple of ammers who said they were in a band called The Cockney Rejects (?) never thought more of it especially as all the way home all the Da wanted to do was nutt Brian Kidd. But lo and behold a couple of weeks later watching Top of The Pops, who comes on but The Cockney Rejects..

they were brilliant

yardbirds,animals etc,stevenage jan 24th, great story about cockney rejects btw

Hookworms at Wharf Chambers in Leeds on Sat 25th.
Tracking 218 artists on Songkick and only 1 playing in Leeds in Jan!
Frustrated to have missed Wooden Shjips at the Brude as I'm a big fan of Moon Duo.

kansas, Wooden Shjips were awesome, be good if Moon Duo play the Brude again, missed em last time but a big fan

The Smyths are one of the best tribute bands ive seen, enjoy !

Red Butler...........Master Mariners Brighton Marina from 9pm Sat...........recent support for Paul Jones

went to 2 last week in Bristol, Van Morrison, he was pretty good, but didn't sing many of his classic songs, and unlike Dylan and McCartney his voice is still strong, but the days are long gone when he would put every last bit of emotion into his performances.  And in the large 2,000 seater Colston Hall (not a complete sell-out) it had the feel of being in a small jazz club (2 pics below).

There is usually no inter-action with the audience at a VM concert, but maybe having his daughter on stage as a backing singer brought out a softer side of him, he was actually talking between songs and even had a stab at some humour with a couple of jokes. If only he had done more of his classic stuff it would have been a brilliant concert.

The next night it was the R & B 50th Anniversary tour, Zombies, Animals, Yardbirds.  Spencer Davis was also billed but he just had a stroke and Dave Berry filled in.  Not sure how many original members in those groups, I know The Yardbirds have had several reincarnations but they were very good with a few younger members now.

Also on the show was Maggie Bell - got a bit confused here because I was expecting the coloured singer from Blue Mink (but maybe that was Madelaine Bell ?) this was a white scottish singer.

And the only original member of The Animals was the drummer but they were good.  Enjoyed the show.
