Was not aware that there was an upstairs. Ill know for next time- I had to settle for red stripe at £5.85 a can

It was my first visit since the revamp and would have to agree. I love the whole Dome complex but the sound last night clearly beats that in the main auditorium. My only complaint would be very poor and very expensive drink choices. If you can call them choices. Ill stick to The Wagon And Horses...

Thanks Kevo. I did get along last night and saw you from a distance. I know you will agree two very different experiences over the two nights but equally wonderful. It was good to see so many younger people at the Corn Exchange. they seemed to know the songs so maybe a new generation of fan...

Managed to see Seapower last night for their warm up show in Lewes. They were on top form and everything about them was just superb. Great set list and sound was near perfect. We were even treated to The Smallest Church In Sussex as the start of the encore. Beautiful. Their main show is tonight...

Saw English Teacher last week at a sold out C2. They did an album signing acoustic set at resident which I also went to a few weeks earlier- enjoyable if slightly awkward in places but this was the real thing and did not disappoint. Most of the album played and then back on stage for a...

Funnily enough this will be also be the second year I wont be going to The Great Escape. I know its a new music thing but in the past you would get a few known acts thrown into the mix and some really decent looking Dome shows. Not any more, and for the asking price of £100 you could go to 5...

I did see a setlist for Johnny Marr and was surprised by how many Smiths songs he played. I’m sure fans would have been delighted by this. Not familiar with any of his solo songs but this sounds like a decent night.

I’ll say hello. Unfortunately I missed out on the Concorde date but am on the waiting list.

Going to English Teacher at Resident on Friday. Pom Poko and Personal Trainer Later on in the month. That’s it for April.

I’m coming to the conclusion that I’m one of a very small number of people who don’t really take to the louder, poppier sound of Yard Act. I went last night wondering how the tracks from Overload would sit alongside Utopia, sadly these earlier songs had been reimagined with the addition of the...

And to think we saw him at The King Alfred in Hove

A novel arrangement. This is an act I am not at all familiar with but will have a look. On The Nick Cave front I have managed to get tickets for Amsterdam and Lisbon. Support acts are Dry Cleaning and Murder Capital

Nick Cave tickets on sale tomorrow. Some great European city dates including Amsterdam, Berlin and Dublin.

Thanks, that setlist site is pretty useful, especially the play facility.

We were a little further back from where you were and got a good view of the three (four) band members- the addition of the screens above would have helped anyone struggling to see. It was great to hear the album tracks live, I was a bit worried that people would be chatting over the quieter...

Going to watch The Smile, The Vaselines and Yard Act over the next week. Not sure I would have gone to Yard Act based on the second album but got tickets before hearing it. Much prefer the post punk sound of their early releases.

Missed out on The Smile tickets at Brighton Centre when they first went on sale. Managed to get a resale standing for £70 which is a bit steep but listening to the albums it’s basically Radiohead so convincing myself it was the correct decision. Peel favourite Eek-A-Mouse is playing on 2nd...

I swerved on The Great Escape last year and didn't really miss it. Might try it again this May. I did enjoy Mutations which is very similar but with more established bands and no queuing.

So a new year- what have people got planned ahead. I have tickets for Pom Poko, Idles, The Lovely Eggs, The Wedding Present. Seapower and Yard Act.

That is pretty busy, I find October and November always good months for gig going. I’ve also spent a fair bit of time at Chalk and was there for most of Mutations which for line up and organisation is improving yearly. Saw quite a few bands the best being Ditz, Public Service Broadcasting and...
