They were doing a couple of small, intimate gigs in London too...one at the Tabernacle next Thurs (28th) and again at the Wilton's Music Hall on the 31st....but both are sold out.


I know you've got contacts GG - if I were you I'd use 'em to try and get tickets to either of these.


Edit - Wilton's isn't exactly small but very cool.

I can't make any of the gigs unfortunately. If I was going to anything it would be Wilton's Music Hall though - it's a very very cool place. Never been to a gig there but been there for other things. Would love to see a band there.

Shepherds Bush Empire 11 Feb



> BRMC at the Forum in April

:)) Electric Ballroom

Ok going back to late 80's now, but The Triffids are playing the Barbican in April, it's a tribute night with special guests to remember the long gone David McComb, a fine songwriter, and a very good live band during their day.


Never been to a tribute style gig before could either be great or awful, we'll see.

Did anyone want to go to Vampire Weekend in Brixton? It's been sold out for ages but is back on sale at SeeBastards. You will need to be quick though:

Here's this year's line up from the Teenage Cancer Trust @ The RAH


http://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/teenage-cancer-trust/default.aspx


They are always fully seated (no standing) gigs. I can post pre-sales.


I think there is one gig left to be announced as there will be 10 in all. The Teenage Cancer gigs are instant sell outs ever year so don't hang about if you want to go to anything. The public onsale is 9am on Friday but I will (fingers crossed) post pre sales. Seats are expensive - around the ?45 to ?55 mark - but ever penny goes to supporting teenagers who are battling cancer - so you can't complain too much.


Them Crooked Vultures, Monday 22nd March

Comedy Night - Jimy Carr, Noel Fielding, Tuesday 23rd March

Suede, Wednesday 24th March

Noel Gallagher, Thursday 25th March

Noel Gallagher, Friday 26th March

Arctic Monkeys, Saturday 27th March

JLS, Sunday 28th March

The Specials, Monday 29th March

The Who, Tuesday 30th March


I'm updating my posting with some (subjective) advice on the best seats at the RAH.


Arena Floor - only good if you can get rows 1 to 6. There is no rake on the floor so if you go any further back than row 6 you'll have big heads in front of you.


Stalls - I've never had a bad seat in the stalls and I've sat in plenty of them. The view is great. There is a steep rake on the stalls so you don't get bothered by heads in front. Stalls go from row 1 to (I think ) row 10 - all good.


Loggia Boxes and Grand Tier Boxes - these are privately owned and don't tend to go on public sale until the owners have given permission. Great seats if you can get them though because you can take a drink in!


Second Tier Boxes - OK but you're higher up. Not the best seats (I think) but if you buy directly from the RAH's website it will default to these as the best seats.


Circle - NO NO NO - not unless you can't get anything else and you really must be there.


Restricted View Circle - you're kidding, right?

There's a rumour that there will be a pre-sale some time this morning for the Teenage Cancer gigs. I am so reluctant to post this info here because the pre (if it happens) will go to See and I cannot begin to tell you how rubbish they are. Normally I would say avoid them at all costs. They have a habit of making you buy blind - not telling you where your seats are. Then, when the seats are allocated, they aren't good. Anyway - buyer beware - but here are the links:

If any of these links go live I would say it will be around 10am this morning and whatever tickets they have won't last long - demand always outstrips supply for these shows.

It isn't that the links aren't working it is just that there is no guarantee if and when these links will go live. If they aren't live now then I would try again at 12 o clock and again tomorrow morning. If they aren't live tomorrow morning then I will remove them and post links for Friday's onsale that aren't See - who are not good people to buy from anyway. All you can do for now is keep trying the links.

Edited to say I hope you got in quick and bought what you needed because the link has closed down - probably due to people like me posting it on public forums (they don't like that - but tough I say). This was the so called "corporate" pre-sale. I don't know about you but I don't go to gigs so I can stand next to some banker smoozing clients.

    • 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
    • I really have to smile as I was the one, years ago who posted about what Gala was.. had not a clue, but drove and drive regularly. Felt such a fool at the time but wow, years later post still comes up.. with comments. Still don’t understand why a lot of park is cordoned off and glad not a resident overlooking park.. must be so noisy but now dates have been kindly supplied, those that don’t want to chill and listen to music in their flats/houses can up sticks and explore UK or abroad. Totally understand that in a built up area and millions in London, music events take place all over the capital to allow access to all.  Brockwell  Park, Dulwich Park, don’t hear anything going on in or around Telegraph Hill or indeed Horniman Gardens.. Crystal Palace I believe do their own thing.  Do these events , clearly charge, provide their own insurance, public liability, crowd control, first aiders, security and policing? Rubbish clearance etc  
    • Personally I think the second weekend has always been a tactical ploy with no real intention of going ahead with it. The council then turn it down (saying they have listened to us, which of course they haven’t) and announce that they will only license one weekend. GALA get the result that they want - job done. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the council even suggested this ploy, they are so desperate to keep the event.
