Mrs Wookie and I are considering Stratovarius at the Wulfrun in May.
I'm sure I'll get to a Mitch Benn gig sometime this year too.

 

[Sofa]

So, a quiet year on the gig front, eh, Big Pete?!

I may bump into you at the Carter USM gig!

I've been to the NME Tour and The Killers so far this year, should be going to see Friendly Fires at The Civic in a few weeks if I pull my fingers out and buy tickets. Gutted The White Lies have sold out; they're amazing.

 

[Big Pete]

Yeah, I went to the NME tour when it hit Manchester. Thought White Lies, Friendly Fires and Florence were all superb but walked out during Glasvegas' headlining slot as they were awful.

 

[Lucy]

Yea, I was really disappointed by them, I went to see them specifically but White Lies blew me away.

 

[Gramaisc]

Florence often disappoints me, too.

 

[Florence]

Somebody seen me? Was I any good?

 

[joshi]

I went to the nme tour at brum. I missed most of the florence set but when she sang with the white lies she was impressive. Also agree that Glasvegas were awful i left during their set aswell.
Other bands i have seen in the recent past our:
The Maccabees
The Wombats
The View
Late of the pier (top band)
The Rifles
Red light company
Pigeon detectives
Feeder
Little man tate
Iglu and Hartly
Gym Class heroes
The Cribs
The Courteeners.

I have tickets so ee Go:audio in the next couple of weeks. V fest aswell but the lineup isnt going the way i want to. Should of waited for the leeds lineup or t in the park
