Lucky you! How were they? Need go and see more bands. Sorry I didn't go and see Simple Minds recently.

Rogue1001MNer · 07/05/2022 13:39

They were fabulous. One of the best gigs I've ever been to. It was absolutely great.

I was due to see simple minds, but it got covid-cancelled and we got our money back

80s
Fix me with your loving
shut the door and turn the lock

80s
I asked for more and more
how can I be sure

80s
now we’ve waded in too deep
and love is overboard

Good afternoon.
Oh. I love TfF and Simple Minds 😍😍.
TfF are the first group to play on my ear buds while out walking.
We went to see The Stranglers at the Manchester (used to be) Apollo and when we came out, there were tour dates on a poster for Simple Minds.
We didn’t buy any tickets at the time thinking they’ll be on again soon, but they haven’t been to Manchester since…😞

CarnageReincarnated · 08/05/2022 12:31

…..which reminds me fast has time gone !
We are seeing Gary Numan on the 18th May.
Only seems two minutes since we booked the tickets 😮

Were TfF good Roguey? Would you recommend?
I’ve seen tour dates for them recently.

That's good, hopefully I will get to see them sometime. I have a vague memory of seeing Simple Minds in the past but don't know if I imagined it!
Saw the Human League pre covid, they were fantastic.

AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes · 08/05/2022 17:56

He seems to be touring a lot, hope it's a good gig.

Rogue1001MNer · 08/05/2022 18:40

Is that next week, carnage? How amazing. Hope it's good.

Will we be deluged with lyrics on here afterwards?

Can I guess Are friends electric in advance????

Rogue1001MNer · 08/05/2022 18:47

TfF were sooooooo good.

It was an almost perfect experience (the beer was v expensive!!)

It was an outdoor gig in June, so around the longest day. The sun was shining, it was warm. We were in a beautiful place (a beautiful stately home and grounds closeish to where I live). I was with a group of friends I love a lot. They played pretty much every song I wanted them to.
They were supported by scritti politti, which was fun (although Green has not aged well!) And some other band who I'd not heard of but enjoyed.
It was just ACE!
Really, really, really enjoyed it.

Thank you @AllTheYoungGoodyTwoShoes,.He has toured the US already, and started his UK tour last week.
He did Wembley Arena last night, and according to what I read, he smashed it.

That sounds glorious Roguey, apart from the expensive beer.

I also saw Madness and Squeeze in December last year live for the first time although have seen Chris Difford live before. They were both amazing as well.

Yes it is next week, and yes I think I might just put on a li’l flurry of Numan lyrics 🙂😁.
Although I’m not sure how many Numan songs you all know apart from AFE and Cars or…..will I be pleasantly surprised? 🤔
Time to swot up 😁

I love both Madness, lots of fun in their day, and Squeeze.
How was Chris Difford live? Is Glenn Tilbrook touring, I thought I saw something, might be wrong.

I know the David grey cover (say hello, wave goodbye). Put that one up.
I'll make it worth your whole on the points spreadsheet 😉

It was years ago, he was supporting Jools Holland ironically! He was quite good from what I remember. I'm sure Squeeze are touring this year.
