I went to see The Clash on the night that Italy beat West Germany in the World Cup Final in 1982.
Go to the gig.
B - Movie at the Prince Albert Saturday night. Hopefully also celebrating an awesome win
Well as that was such a bad day at the office, here's some cheer. Steve Earle is playing The Dome in July. Only found out this week. Got my two tickets and still a few left.
In other news, saw Chris Farlowe last night at, wait for it, Henfield Village Hall! 77 years old and looking somewhat older as he gingerly walked across the stage and took a seat to sing from. Left arm in a sling, he explained that he was hit by a taxi in London in January and only had the cast removed from his arm on the day of the gig. Hadn't sung since December, but he was in fine voice. Supported by a fine band including Bob Brookes and incredibly, Miller Anderson - a guy who played Woodstock and with some pretty high profile bands in his time.
Turned in a rousing version of Small Faces favourite, 'All or Nothing' and closed with his signature tunes 'Handbags and Gladbags' and finally 'Out of Time'. Great fun.
Looking forward to Public Service Broadcasting after tomorrows game.
Jane Weaver was OK ish, thoroughly enjoyed PSB though! Great set and they looked like they were enjoying it too. J Willgoose is a strange yet enigmatic musician, managed to get pretty close to his side of the stage and was amazing to watch him work.Well PSB were absolutely superb. However was so disappointed with Jane Weaver - completely flat with no sense of dynamics. I’d liked the few bits I’d heard before, but ended up getting slightly annoyed with them.

Avi Buffalo playing Sticky Mikes 24th May. I thought they/he wasn’t playing anymore so this is great news.
