As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, Pink Floyd tribute band 'On the Run' at the Folkestone Bandstand, Sunday8th September, it's FREE, and over a 1000 people have expressed an interest on Facebook alone!. Starts at 2pm, but I would get there a little earlier, as parking could well be an issue by the sounds of it. Having heard the real thing, in there heyday at Hyde park, and Wembley, I expect a high level of musical competence. Not going to see the 'actual band' unless there is a miracle, so a must for me.
On the Run played a fantastic set on Saturday mostly from 'Darkside of the Moon' they did a fabulous job in the downpour, I have just about dried out!. Fantastic to hear them, with some of Dave Gilmour's backing singers, and the female sax player was sensational, Not sure I ever saw Candy Dulfer live, as I was up in the gods at Earls court, but the lady was spot on!. Great to hear these sounds, swirling around the cliff tops in Folkestone, and although only 400 turned up in the monsoon, I would happily have paid to see this group again.
Got tickets to see 9 Below Zero at the 229 in Jan. 45th anniversary of their Live at The Marquee album and the original 4 members are getting back together for it.
What/who are Jungle FC? I did a brief google and am still none the wiser.
Jungle’s music really took off after Busy Earnin’ featured on FIFA 15. A range of football shirts branded Jungle FC took off, the latest ‘Volcano’ my son is wearing. The Accelerate shirt was the tie in to their first album.

Incredible show!!
I saw Jungle on the TV at Glastonbury (I think). Not my cup of tea (but that’s irrelevent). It was seeing Jungle FC that I didn’t “get”.
Booked up today for The Prodigy at Brixton on O2 priority (the Thursday not the Saturday which ends 1 am). The Pixies at Brixton. Peter Hook and the Light - The Troxy. Plus Marilyn (Monroe) The Exhibition -The Arches London Bridge (for the wife).

I've got a couple of tickets for tonight's David Gilmour's show at Brighton. Its a dress rehearsal for his up coming tour. I had to buy a bit of new merchandise, last Friday, to qualify for a a chance to join the queue on Ticket Master last Monday. The tickets were considerably cheaper than the Albert Hall tickets, so not all bad.

I’m glad that the band specified that it was Jaws the Shark and not Jaws from the James Bond film. If they were called Jaws this could have caused confusion at the bar if someone had said “what jaws?” With the answer being “a pint of lager!” 🤓
Blackberry Smoke at Apollo Hammersmith last Saturday Sensational packed in loads of songs from across their near quarter century career Faultless performances all round. Main man Charlie Starr really is a very fine singer A highly enthusiastic audience brought a near gospel congregation vibe to the singalongs I won't leave it so long to see them again
At the opposite end of the spectrum Sisters Of Mercy in Berlin back in January -a miserable pisstake I'd been aware that Eldritch's voice had declined somewhat with age but wasn't prepared for either his lack of power or his utter lack of interest SoM live has been Grandpa Goth and a revolving door of hired hands for years but most of his employees over the years have been capable Not so much the haircut with the guitar this time. He(?) was detailed to fill in the huge gaps in what Eldritch was capable/inclined to deliver vocally but wasn't blessed with much of a voice himself. Much of SoM material relies on programming, sequencing etc but I've seen more convincing shows from blokes down the pub with a guitar, backing tracks and patches. There was a figure stood behind a bank of what we guessed were supposed to be keyboards but the noise coming out sounded just like the instrumental tracks off the records Eldritch and his young friend adding shabby karaoke 'vocals'.
Anybody considering paying to see him/them early next year, think again unless you like being fleeced.
Not sure whether this should be under the Theatre thread but nevertheless. Went to see the A night with Janis Joplin at the Peacock Theatre. Absolutely brilliant. All the singers and the backing band were excellent. Unfortunately, the last performance is on Saturday.
Jaws The Shark at The Grace last night. Only about 100 there. Deserves a wider audience imo, great indie rock band.
Absolute nightmare getting home. Gig finished over an hour after the Arsenal Vs Bolton game ended, but Highbury and Islington station was still completely inaccessible with huge queues.

I was there. They are a brilliant band and I have seen them half a dozen times.
I got talking to a Charlton fan at their HMV store gig earlier in the year. Was that you?
Took my daughter to see Boston Manor and Trophy Eyesat The Forum last night. Boston Manor were one of the first bands I took her to see and it's interesting to see how the have evolved over the last 6 years. As ever at these things I hang around near the back feeling ancient, but TBF both were pretty good. Just such a pain getting home from the Forum with the tube station still closed.
D.C. Lee at Koko Camden tonight. Not the greatest gig tbh, the band were very good but the sound was awful and could hardly hear her. Steve White on drums and Mick Talbot played on a couple of tracks so 3/4 of The Style council on stage.
My band (Simmons And The Stags) are playing a gig in London on Friday 13th December. So if any lifers fancy coming supporting an independent brit-pop rock band fronted by a Charlton fan it would be well appreciated. We were the main support to Reverend And The Makers on their album launch London gig last year for kind of similar vibes.
You can check us out on all streaming platforms to get an idea of our vibe.
I've just asked for a discount code for CL so if you fancy getting your tickets for only £6 for a line up of 3 bands on a Friday night in London please get them early! Use the code: ADDICKS

Saw Jaws The Shark support Indoor Pets a while back and he was brilliant. Would urge anyone who likes a guitar band to check him out on Spotify.
