Gigs ‘25

[JackSomething]

I was up in Manchester for gigs the previous two weekends. The first was some internet fella called CG5 that my 11-year old wanted to see. Does songs based on Five Nights at Freddys and the like. Not my cup of tea at all, but only lasted an hour and the lad loved his first ever concert, so can't complain.

Then last Friday it was the Strumbellas at the Bread Shed. Tiny venue with probably less than 200 of us in there, but I thought they were great and one of the best concerts I've been to in a long time (not that I got to many!).

The wife convinced me to go see Me First and the Gimme Gimmes with her in Bristol in early December, so that's the next one. For 2025 we passed on Oasis to instead relive our teenage years by seeing the Manics and Ocean Colour Scene instead. Looking forward to both of those.

Most probably the most diverse and best line up they’ve had in years. I was just hoping they weren’t going to wheel out AC/DC again.

I’m looking forward to it. Plenty more bands to be announced too.

Will shortly be setting off for Cardiff to see my favourite band, Within Temptation from the Netherlands, at the Utilita Arena this evening. Bought the ticket over a year ago so it's been quite a long wait.

How was the gig?

Excellent thanks. I don't think I was in the best place for sound as I was too near the front and most of the stuff that was coming out of the PA was almost behind me or at least level with me and really should have been slightly further back IMO but it wasn't bad enough to warrant moving as I had a great view even through the dozens of mobile phones However, visually, it was astonishing. Updated my avatar with a pic I took there.
