Seen multiple times and met Dave Gedge on a couple of occasions, sadly can't make this gig as watching Hearts getting pumped. Saw them twice in Kalamazoo, in 2005 and 2006 I think, at a tiny brewery that only held a couple of hundred people. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She comes across as a bit of b*tch at times, but it's one of the best music based autobiographies I've read for a while. Hopefully Emma Anderson comes up here for a gig, her new album is just brilliant. It's almost a year since 'Pearlies' came out and still no live dates!

Carl Fredrickson Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 A few tribute acts with the kids: Springsteen Sessioners (Haddington) Across the Universe (Queens Hall) Fleeting Rumours (Peebles theatre) Bootleg Beatles (Usher Hall) Queen Etravaganza (Playhouse) Chicago Blues Brothers (Usher Hall) And a couple of original acts Jason Isbell (Usher Hall) Bruce Springsteen (Anfield) My kids love music but not "modern" bands. Makes it hard to get them to gigs as my daughter is 9. Most venues are 14 plus. Trying to get then to listen to other bands that they might get a chance of seeing live.

Yip, that's 'modern' bands for you. Very few have the confidence to perform as a trio or quartet anymore. All about trying to recreate the studio sound.

pablo Posted October 16, 2024 Share Posted October 16, 2024 Hi Everyone My mates laddie is doing a project at uni on the Edinburgh music scene. He's a good kid, and a Hearts season ticket holder to boot. Hoping if you can spare a couple of minutes, you could maybe fill in a wee survey for him. It's very short.

argyjambo Posted October 21, 2024 Share Posted October 21, 2024 Update on the Talon gig at Haddington, absolutely fabulous gig, musicianship & harmonies outstanding . Rather an older audience demographic, I hit seventy next month, but some a lot older than me there everyone went home happy. I got to the gig in plenty of time because I missed the game on Saturday as my wee sister was admitted to Intensive care at Forth Valley hospital. She's still there on oxygen, and improving slowly.

Glad it was a good one and hope your sister makes a good recovery. I miss walking to the Brunton to see a live band, could obviously drive to Haddington but it would mean soft drinks only. 🍻 I should add, the Tom Petty tribute was excellent, definitely worth catching them if you get the chance.

Carl Fredrickson Posted October 26, 2024 Share Posted October 26, 2024 To add to the chat about the Brunton (def looks like it is being demolished). Went to my first gig at Haddington last night and the venue isnt a patch on the Brunton. Went with my kids to see a Bruce Springsteen tribute act and the attendance was down by over 30% on the normal numbers they would get at the Brunton. Haddington isnt as easy to get to as Musselburgh for folk in Edinburgh and Midlothian and from chatting to staff last night, it doesnt sound like many locals are attending events. It is a shame as the Brunton was easy to get to and often had family friendly gigs. Our next gigs are next weekend. Heidi Talbot & Boo Hewardine at the Eastgate Theatre in Peebles on Friday and Sunday we are seeing Across the Universe at the Queens Hall. Looking forward to both.
