20 years since Definitely Maybe. Blimey.

Great days in town and at the Rovers.

For those interested Chorley Little Theatre - yes, really - is getting more and more excellent comedians doing pre-tour stuff. We have tickets to see Jenny Eclair, Mark Steel, Tom Wrigglesworth, Mitch Benn, Mark Watson

I love Mark Steel. Can't find a DVD of The Mark Steel Lectures anywhere, but his book on the French Revolution is brilliant.

I consider Mark Watson a hidden gem. He comes across horribly on TV imo, but live he is simply hilarious.

Saw The Treatment again in Manchester last night. Quality young classic rock band who are decent in the studio but superb live.

Fall Out Boy at the Manchester Arena last night. Great gig - they definitely had the place rocking.

Support act was Pretty Reckless, good hard rock.

Good job my daughter's age averaged mine down to a respectable level though!

I'm going to The Band On The Wall in Manchester on Saturday to see a band called " The Excitements ". If you've seen early film of The Ike and Tina Turner roadshow, they're in that style.

Great venue ( The Band On The Wall ), great musicians and a tremendous front woman. However The gig itself was ultimately disappointing for me. The band played all original numbers which most of the audience weren't familiar with. If you're a Soul band, for me doing all your own stuff is a musical version of trying to re-invent the wheel.

One of my favourite songs ever:

One of my favourite songs ever and shows.

"Pilot of the airwaves, here is my request, you don't have to play it, but I hope you do your best, I've been listening to your show on the radio and you sure seem like a friend to me."

Sometimes, I hear a one hit wonder, in fairness she has a number of good song, and think, that person or band put out a song better than anything some big band did but they only had one big song like that.

Good find I haven't heard that in a long while. She is also playing an Ovation Balladeer in blue if I'm not mistaken. I used to pine over that guitar in Reidys, I think it cost about £600 back then!

Yep, been every year since 2009, and wouldn't miss it for the world. 25 minutes away and just over £100-brilliant!

Stranglers last night for me and my son's. Great night as always.

They were superb,2 hours of pure entertainment.If anybody wants to see a band that knows how to deliver musical perfection,then they should see 'The Stranglers.As somebody who watches over 30 gigs a year these are right up there with the best of them.Wonderful stuff!

I guess Gwyneth Paltrow finally got around to listening to Coldplay...
