Philistine Keef, did you just "boo" the Pixies.


Skunk Anansie is indeed playing Brixton in November. Sold out but I can get you tickets if you want.


I met Skin once. She was very nice. Not as nice as Frank Black though (probably; I haven't met him).


I'm very excited about the Pixies coming back to Brixton. I had hoped they would do a warm up for the Isle of Wight but 4 nights in Brixton is even better!

Never expected him to, if anyone was going to drag it up, it would be a Gallagher brother. Not saying they did, but Noel was still going on about it in a recent interview I saw with him.


What made me laugh was how he was saying "we won the battle, his band is finished, my band are still going". What he seemed to fail to see, was that Damon had gone on to do, and have success, with totally different prjects, before bringing blur back to massive fanfare, all whilst Oasis were playing the same stuff as they were in the mid 90s.


That said, they do great rock n' roll, and I'd like to see them live.


(was always a blur boy back in the day though)

No, you'd think Liam was stapled to his microphone. As for the music, I guess Blur have more slow reflective type ones than Oasis, the The Universal etc, but then Oasis have nothing to touch Song 2 for energy.


To be honest, I like them both, just if forced to pick one over the other, I'd go for Blur for the variety.

GG dilemma! Have historically been indifferent to the Arctic Monkeys but they're playing Brixton this week and there's a strong rumour the support will be a new band - Them Crooked Vultures. I'm desperate to see TCVs. I loathe the term "supergroup" but I reckon this one will truly rock. What to do? If I go and it's just the Arctic Monkeys I?d rather not subject myself to Brixton Academy.

I've thought about just leaving after the support BUT what if they're "special guests" rather than support. Thinking about it, that's a more likely bet. I don't want to find myself heading south on the 37 bus whilst the band I actually want to see still has it's feet up backstage.


Yes they are jumped up aren't they Keef. My shot is lousy though so throwing things isn't good advice. Sorry.

AAAAaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggg


Very frustrated about tonight. It's STILL only a rumour (albeit a strong one) that Them Crooked Vultures will support Arctic Monkeys tonight at Brixton.


I have two tickets waiting for me to collect but haven't invited anyone along yet. If anyone from the forum wants to come tonight then please PM me (free tickets - no charge). You'll need to be able to get to Brixton by 7pm.


There is the prospect of actually seeing a member of Led Zeppelin support a group of cnuts like the Arctic Monkeys. If it doesn't happen then you'll need to buy me a large vodka.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
