Heartland

I was devastated by the outcome of the election. Not being American, I realise I must respect the American people’s vote. But I really wouldn’t have thought that the majority of American voters could ignore the danger of a completely deranged person like Trump for the unfounded promises of cheaper g...

Welcome!

@Icon it's not the most salubrious hotel you'll ever stay at, the nearby Holiday and Premier Inns are probably posher and cheaper, but you are most assuredly right in the heart of it all, there's people sat in the bar or outside on the benches all weekend, the vibe is constant, and being able to sim...

Lots of fun and a great night!

Yep, another black clad woman here. Also booked the Enterprise. It‘d better be good at the price !

Obsessed much with hair, that guy or gal or whatever who wrote that?

What a thoroughly superb evening that must have been. I loved the songs and got goosebumps when I heard the old songs played by the master himself. And I can only agree, what a lovely man he is. Thank you so much for putting the vids up and a big thank you to Gary Marx for caring about us old bunch ...

Fantastic interview! Excited to listen to the record once it arrives. Thank you very much, Mark!

Anyone else heading up to Hull on Saturday evening for Gary Marx's album launch shindig? Approx timings for the event are 8-10pm, apparently The venue is 5 mins from the station and my last train back from Hull is approx 10:05, so I may miss the last few mins, but it should be fun :) I expect it to...

My worst gig was probably Sonic Youth in Bielefeld, Germany, in the early nineties. It was the „Goo“ album they were supporting. They were really bored and unenthusiastic in the first place, and it was all a wall of undefined noise. You couldn’t even recognise the songs most of the time. I remember ...

I wish everyone a brilliant time and a great gig! Lots of fun!

There are very few decent people in this life who would prefer the company of a rando over that of Chris May.

Right!

If this is a final setlist then it's very short, even disappointingly short. Here is on the setlist as pictured somewhere on fb, so same set as previous. Whether they actually played it or not is another matter. Apparently the new song was reported to have been played in soundcheck, so we can expec...

We'll be stood outside the Enterprise I imagine.

Good to know! If I overcome my natural shyness I might even talk to you.

Ticket bought.

Bought tickets . Hope to finally meet a lot of you.

Everyone going have a great time! Hope you‘ll be treated to a new song!

You always said there wouldn’t be a successor ! Could have fooled me.
Wonderful news . Can’t wait!

Ta to you, sir. :notworthy: Meanwhile, I'd expect the interview to mention Rollerball (1975) Bunraku Soylent Green weird Japanese yakuza and/or erotic horror manga films What's on your bingo card? :P Blues Brothers? All those old films with Klaus Kinski? I think Fitzgeraldo one is called. :lol: :lo...

Ahem, don’t hit me, but I never ever liked Lucretia. I could happily live without ever hearing it again. I would really love Will I Dream, War On Drugs, Lights and Floorshow (only on the last day of the tour to let his voice recover afterwards :wink: ) to come back on. Alternatively I stand by my fo...

Wow, shouldn’t get my hopes up too much, but it’s too late!
Revisiting unperformed songs from the Dylan era and writing new songs?.. sounds great!!
Hope it’s not just an incentive to get the ticket sales up for the US tour.
Something to look forward to anyway.
