twas mentioned in the great gigs thread as well


On the one hand, compared to Madge and Babs recent gigs, it's not THAT bad (out of my league tho) but whether you are up for it or not is kinda moot, considering the likely demand


Plus, bottom line is I agree with Keef on this one - I'm no big fan of them (heresy tho that seems to most of my friends)

Yep, name goes into a ballot, whcih I have done. So lots of staying in to save up if I should be lucky!

As, see I'm bonkers about them, which is nobody's fault but mine.....

OK< bad form to talk to yourself online, but turns out that I, along with Circa 25,000,000 other people have put their names into the ballot...


Ho Hum,.....

I know, I can hear them....all the time, when I'm alone, by myself.....

Ballot was OK, it's the spending money I object too......


Yep, saw the purpley one, and really enjoyed it, which came as a huge suprise to me as I've never ever liked his stuff, but was there being the dutiful husband part. Like she cared if I was there..... ;-)

Personally I think you must be nuts to go and see a band well past it's sell by date. Their heyday is well gone. They will never be able to recreate a stage performance that merits the ticket price. Better to preserve the memory rather than replace it with an enduring image of a bunch of OAP's embarrassing themselves in a final bid to raise funds to soften the impact of IHT! And yes I am a Led Zep fan and once bumped into Robert in a launderette in Primrose Hill, but that's another story!
I think you may have a point there Captain. There's money to be made in nostalgia. There seems to be a lot of bands reforming just to top up their bank accounts. But having said that, I'd love to see the Pistols again but it's hardly likely they'll be playing down the 100 Club or the Roxy. At least Zepplin are doing their gig for charity. I wouldn't have thought they'd need the money.

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
