    Saw The Go! Team at Dreamland in Margate a fortnight ago - fantastic show. Tiny venue, too, inside the ballroom - pleased I made the effort to go down there rather than going to one of the London shows.

    Went to Ladytron at Koko last weekend, which was terrific. 

    Got Inspiral Carpets and The Bug Club coming next month.

    Got The Damned next month. Depeche Mode in June. A couple of covers Bands in April and May. Was thinking about Devo but then remembered I don't like them.

    @Covered End Thanks but I can read. We went to the same school, remember?. What I meant was I can't decipher them when Richard Jobson sings them. 😀

    Not quite a gig but went to the 100 Club for an evening with Rick Buckler tonight. Cracking night. Said that he hasn’t spoken to Paul Weller since 1983.

    Not a gig but went to a special screening of Dance Craze at the BFI last night. The film has been upgraded and it looks the nuts. Great to see it clearer and on a big screen. Really took me back. Q and A afterwards with a great line up of Jerry Dammers, Pauline Black, Rhoda Dakar, Woody, Buster, etc.

    even got to chat with Dammers while we waited for the toilet, what a nice painfully shy chap.  

    Also great to find out the film was produced by one of our own, surprising to see him there, known the man years didn’t know that’s what he did.

    Good night for star spotting in there, Martin Freeman, Matt Berry, Mark Kermode

    Was at Alejandro Escovedo and the Rant Band playing the whole of “Mott” and a host of other Mott The Hoople tracks last night. What a band and what great songs. Playing Bush Hall on 27th I believe

    Going to see Roger Daltrey next Sunday at the RAH for the last of the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs this year. Richard Ashcroft, Joan Armatrading and Kelly Jones new band as support. Should be a good night.
    I thought “you won’t get many in the river ale house”.

    The Roundhouse for Stiff Little Fingers last night. 

    Last saw them about 25 years ago at Brockwell Park. They were as good last night as they were poor then. Jake may be getting on a bit, and has certainly packed on the pounds but he’s still got it, and it was great to see Ali on bass. The drummer and other guitarist were both excellent.

    Preceded by the drummer from The Stray Cats, his wife on bass, and another woman on guitar. Pretty good for a support act.

    Cracking show tonight, although Roger Daltrey’s set was a bit rushed and only 45 minutes long.

    Richard Ashcroft did a solo acoustic set and was fantastic. Never really paid a lot of attention to Joan Armatrading but she qas really good too.

    One for the teenagers, Elton John last night. Mostly a greatest hits collection and plenty of energy in a decent show.

    I was very impressed with The Orielles at Electric Brixton last night. One to watch, although I wish they didn’t use so much red and blue lighting

    Popguns at the 229 club last Friday - fantastic.

    Orelles at Electric in Brixton last night - good, but show felt a bit flat for some reason

    I've seen the Popguns a few times as another poster on CL is a massive fan.
    We've even been drinking with Wendy and the band pre gig.

    I was there and enjoyed it. If you've got a sore foot this morning, I was the guy who stood on it at the end of the show!

    One of my favourite bands who were superb at the Eventim Apollo - Big Thief. I’m lucky enough to see them at a small venue in Brighton again on Thursday.

    And Big Thief were just as good, if not better, at Chalk, Brighton, a small venue. Quite different set too; they surprisingly opened with a Kinks cover, Strangers.

    Going to the Mods Mayday gig in Islington on May 6th. Secret Affair, Purple Hearts, Chords UK and others. The Selecter are playing Koko in Camden the night before and we thought of staying nearby and going to both. Couldn’t see why there were hardly any hotels available and those that were were ridiculous prices. Then we realised what else is happening in London on May 6th!

    Went to see The Damned at Brighton Dome last night. Bit boring to be honest. First half was mainly their new album, which isn't released yet, so I was unfamiliar with most of the songs, and those that I knew, I'm not a big fan of.
    Second half better as it was their best known and my favourite stuff. Was let down by the sound quality, which has always seemed to have been an issue with The Damned. The band I've seen most times,  but last night may have been my last.
