Gigs

Got a decent few days of gigs coming up. Editors and The Twilight Sad on Sunday which should be brilliant, then reviewing Gengahr on Monday, who I've not heard much of but should hopefully be decent. Tallest Man On Earth at the ABC on Tuesday and then Mild High Club at the Hug & Pint on Thursday.

A wee sit down on Friday will most likely be required.

Idlewild with the RSNO at Paisley Abbey tonight.

Also got the Songhoy Blues at SWG3 on Thursday.

Enjoy, I saw King Creosote & Roddy Hart there last year and I thought it was a great venue for an acoustic gig.

Make sure to put on your warm coat though, it's cauld! (or sneak in a hip flask, there's no booze :thumbsdown )

Would have liked to go to Cast last night but work got in the way. The promoter told me it was a cracking night and he's taking them up to Inverness for an Ironworks show tonight, so I hope that goes well.

As for Johnny Marr - what a set! Great sound, very good crowd, and a top guy as well. That's my second time seeing him and I can't wait until the next time!

The Twilight Sad had a good support slot and people seemed to appreciate it, but Editors were fucking brilliant. The stuff from "The Back Room" sounded a bit out of place, but still really good, but everything from the other albums was on another level, probably with the exception of "Forgiveness" which I thought was a bit shit. Highlights were probably "No Harm", "Sugar", "The Racing Rats", "A Ton of Love", "Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors", "All the Kings", "Nothing", "Papillon" and "Marching Orders", and that last one didn't work as well as a closer as I thought it might. "Papillon" would have been perfect as a closer, especially with the extended outro. Some gig though.

I agree about encore. They should have finished with Papillon. I'm not sure they should have had two new songs in encore.

Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors was exceptional. New songs sounded great too. Loved No Harm, Salvation, All the Kings and Ocean of the Night.

One of best live bands around.

Seen Cast last night in Montrose, supported by Nick Mercer JR formerly of Sergeant, and The Lottery Winners who also supported Madness up here..... All 3 were absolutely smashing

I thought the Twilight Sad were good on Sunday - although the lead singer looks like he is off his head when he sings. Great sounds and one of the best supported supports Ive seen at a gig recently.

Editors were superb. Brave move with Smokers to make it a solo acoustic and it worked brilliantly. I felt the new songs were appreciated but weren't ones that got the audience bouncing to the same extent as the older ones. And I agree with the fact that Papillon would have been a better closer. But a great gig!
