Any Basschatters going to Saxon + Udo Dirkschneider later in the year?

No, not really my cup of tea, but you’ve prompted me to check if Shonen Knife are playing Manchester… and it’s a night I can’t make. Drat! Hope you have a blast!

Wear a cap, that's what I'm doing. Are you in standing or seated?

Joanne Shaw Taylor is fabulous in concert!  I've seen her twice in Birmingham UK. She's playing Wolverhampton in September, so I should try to get tickets.

Not sure this counts but i'm hoping to go see a local band called Nightfly who are playing The Dreadnought in Bathgate the day after we play. Its a Sun afternoon gig week tomorrow. 

These guys were possibly the first band i ever saw when i was 17 in our local rock venue in Wishaw (The Heathery Bar). They've changed their name from Fire Brigade to Nightfly over the years and at one point in 80-90's they were called Isis but for obvious reasons they had to change the band name.

They cover bands like Supertramp, Joe Satriani, Steely Dan, Gabriel, It Bites, Santana and they even did a Toto tribute one night.

Fantastic musicians.

Bass player uses an Overwater fretted 6 stringer and is the main singer in the band. 4 piece band with bass, drums, guitar and keys.

Been meaning to go see them for a few yrs now and just never managed.

When i mentioned i was interested in going on the gig advert the Owner of the Dreadnought jokingly offered to put a bed in the dressing room if i wanted to sleep over save going home and back again. 😂 (i think he was joking but you never know as they are a brilliant venue to play in)

Love a good old blether with owner and manager and we always get the same SE Pete who is also a bass player so i always get a great sound.

Felt sorry for Steve when his bass had no sound in The Number of the Beast intro for a few sec. Otherwise one of the best Maiden gig I've been to. Ordered this one to the Future Past tour in 2023 at at O2. I also found Steve's bass sounded better, more bass rather than highs. At least how it sounded to me.

Oddly, where we were sitting, his bass sounded sh*t, almost like there was something wrong with it whenever he went high up the neck!

But other than that - excellent gig, probably one of, if not the, best IM shows I’ve seen. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it, except the heat 😆

Ani DiFranco tonight at Cardiff New Theatre, I have been a fan since the first album over twenty five years ago. Really looking forward to it, although sad act that I am, I am going on my own as no one else I know likes her enough to come along.
