by (our best friend) Dave Simpson, always guaranteed to get the right of any stick. god man

sounds like a cracking lineup

Soooooooo looking forward to Friday night

Just back from seeing them in Glasgow with Big Si. I didn't get my ticket till Saturday and I got the very last one in the shop. As for the gig, Girlschool were OK, The Damed were OK - playing their older stuff that I don't know so well and Dave Vanian looking more than slightly like Bono! However Motorhead blew the lid off the place Not sure how but they did. Sound was fuzzy, I couldn't hear much of what Lemmy was saying but they just blazed a trail and had the whole place bouncing Needless to say, my ears are still ringing and no doubt will be for the whole of tomorrow. I can live with that

Don, sorry we missed you - we didn't bargain on the Laurieston shutting at 11!

What's that you say, Laurieston shut at 11!

what is the world coming to

Thought The Damned warmed the crowd up nicely.
Motorhead were indeed in fine form - hard to believe Lemmy turns 64 on Christmas Eve. He hasn't aged so much as become fossilised!

Aye, bit of a bummer we've missed one another but I was happy to make the gig - for a while it looked liked I'd spend the gig sitting on the M9.

Aye it was an absolute belter!

Next time i'll buy a ticket as soon as they're on sale, and for downstairs. First time i've ever seen a live Drum Solo!

I guess the Laurieston shut along with several other pubs as it was a thursday night, not the weekend.

It's my turn next week

Who's actually in the Damned these days?

Cologne, December 1rst ... ... need my annual dose ... ...
