Good news, but at my age I don't wanna book to far in advance.........just in case! The same for Count Arthur Strong at Theatre Royal in April next year.

Saw the Count live pre covid - was a good evening

Saw Paul Weller and Blur on Sunday at Wembley.

A really good night. PW kept away from most of the Jam/ Style Council favs but has a presence and musical ability that you have to appreciate. Worth seeing if he’s ever doing a gig near you.
Blur were off the scale, extraordinary in fact. Albarn fused energy and emotion, their craft and togetherness was stunning yet low keyed. So many Brit pop numbers to sing along to, and bye how the crowd reacted to the likes of There’s no other way, Country House, Tender etc but their new stuff is also well crafted . Phil Daniels emerged from a road workers tent for Parklife. They appeared to be slightly humbled by the reception, the performance was unforgettable and it was kind of special to be there. If you like a live band and and atmosphere, go see Blur if you get the chance.

Saw them on the Saturday night - only picked up a ticket on Saturday afternoon. Really good show, they seemed really overwhelmed by it all. Great setlist too.

I saw 65daysofstatic in Manchester on Friday night, as they played their Wild Light album in full for the 10th anniversary. Really good and well worth the horrific amount of driving involved!

Snagged tix for Steve Kilbey at the Aquino Stadium in Manila. Whilst still working my through Pete Townshend's 3LP Lifehouse demos released on Friday. Why PT did not go solo in '71 is beyond me.
