Anybody seeing anything good in the next few months?

I'm going to see The Jayhawks next Tuesday, and Bowie in April (rescheduled after he got sick in December)

You mean, besides Elvis Costello and Steve and The Brodskys at the Beacon next month? Caetano Veloso with David Byrne at Carnegie Hall in April. Not too shabby.

I'm off to see Billy Bragg solo in March, and still considering getting tickets for EC at Bournemouth (if there are any tickets left) but am a bit skint at the moment and so may have to wait.

You mean, besides Elvis Costello and Steve and The Brodskys at the Beacon next month? My boyfriend's band is playing in a few weeks...

"my boyfriend's band..."

isn't that a nice phrase to be able to use?

I'm going to see Jethro Tull in Manchester this time next month, and I'm still thinking on going to the EC Bournemouth concert, depends on what Im working on then, but signs look good.

Since Elvis doesn't play Dublin anymore I'm going to have to make do with gigs by My Morning Jacket, The Twilight Singers, Clem Snide and George Thorogood over the next few months instead. I'm giving the Gavin Bryars gig a miss since he's play at a church with uncomfortable seating. Such is life.

have you seen George Thorogood before, mr. martinfoyle?

No, what's he like?

You mean, besides Oliver's Army at the Black Dog this Saturday night in beautiful downtown Fort Worth, Texas at 10?

Nothing really.

Both fun and obnoxious at the same time. He does mostly covers of songs by people like Bo Diddley, while maintaining a very white boy biker image.

I've got tix to EC, sans Brodskys (alas) in March.

Tix to the Ray Brown tribute in Feb.

April 1st I have tickets to a Hal Wilner Firesign Theatre thing...should be fun.

Waiting to swoop into ticketmaster on Sat for tix to EC in SF.---A great excuse for a weekend in SF!!

Was thinking about going to the Randy Newman tribute next week, but may have to rethink.....plastic is melting.....

The Hoodoo Gurus have been playing lately, mainly to prepare for the Big Day Out festivals, but hopefully they'll announce some more dates...

so lacklustre - I'm going to see the big nosed bard from Barking in Brighton on 27th.

I'm also going to EC in Bournemouth. I think he'll be announcing some more dates as the English sound crew has been booked for April. If this turns out to be the only date then we should organise a meet up.

I've never had the pleasure, but I love his first 2 or 3 albums. He also covered NL's Half a Boy on a later release. I look forward to your report. Yes, he does mostly covers like Blue mentioned, but I like the way he does them.

I'll be taking in a third-graders' recorder recital sometime in April. Admission is 2 dozen home-baked cookies. Set list includes Hot Cross Buns; Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star; Frere Jacques; and as an encore, Oats, Peas and Beans. We're also hoping for a rousing rendition of Yangtze River. I hope no one gets trampled in the push for front-row seats, but you know how wild these things can get....

I know you are all dying of jealousy of my jet-set lifestyle.

G2S - You need to paste a link to the ticket agent.

vg - I'm seeing BB at Southampton. Will probably get late tickets for BIC if no other uk dates are announced. Saw B.South there last year and it is an okay venue although it took us the best part of hour to get out of the multi-story car park after the show.

Goody2Shoes · Post by **Goody2Shoes** » Wed Jan 14, 2004 5:27 pm

No tickets needed, SoL. Show up with your cookies and you're in like Flynn. I'll save you a seat in the front row.

John Prine is going to be in Memphis. I'm trying to concoct a story my husband and boss will believe about why I must go. They don't understand the "it's been like 20 years" reason.

Post by **BlueChair** » Thu Jan 15, 2004 9:22 pm

Tell them you won tickets in a contest, only to later fess up that you bought the tickets yourself.

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Thu Jan 15, 2004 9:27 pm

why would I have to fess up later?

and that's 500. amen.

Olivers Army tonight in Fort Worth. Last week OA played in Deep Ellum in Dallas, shoehorned between 2 other tribute bands. A Hardnights Day(Beatles) and Diamondback(Neil Diamond). A truncated set, about 70 minutes, excellent nonetheless. Our own Noiseradio looking very snappy in black suit with purple tie. Looking forward to a full setlist tonight in FW.
