Enjoyed McCartney very much and then watched a bit of The Avalanches for a change up. Will be working my way through the very high quality iplayer coverage (although still no Dolby 5.1)

I can't find any coverage for the Acoustic Stage anywhere - only the main ones seem to be covered.
Is Diana Ross being strangled?

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..

yeh, i couldn't watch much of her.

I can't see acoustic stage listed on bbc, but maybe if if they recorded bits, the artist might be in a-z

on you tube I saw that some artists have parts of their sets on their own channels

Jo Boxers... meh
The Selecter... really great to hear some pure Ska again!
Ottowan... really fun renditions, Hand's Up, and D.I.S.C.O
Belinda Carlisle... fabulous still really got it
Heaven 17... wow as good to day as back in the 80's
Tom Bailey (Thompson Twins)... great set of TT songs
Scritti Politti... was never a fan, couldnt remember any of their songs, but still good sound!
Ed Tudor Pole (Tenpole Tudor)... who?
Living in a Box... were Ok, just!
Nick Heywood (Haircut 100)... i had forgotten how many great tunes they had, and Nick still has a great voice, and unlike todays charts plays real instruments
Billy Ocean... wow what a voice, what a set, fan 'bloody' tastic
OMD... highlight of the day for me, wished they could have played all the 48 songs they threatened to!
Human League... always good value for money, the closing act,

if you're into heavy, I can recommend the following 3 bands I just saw, they're all on spotify, but brief description,

Hummune - Sort of hardcore, bit like Fudgetunnel
https://hummune.bandcamp.com/


Blanket - kind of heavy ambient, imagine a more metal version of Mogwai (the band, not the creature)

https://www.blanketofficial.com/


Palm Reader - sounds like Dillinger Escape Plan - v good
https://www.wearepalmreader.com/


I went to see Hummune as they're local, and mate used to be in bands with some of them, and had liked what I heard, but the other 2 bands were bloody good as well. glad i had ear plugs :)

Just saw Fun Lovin' Criminals at The Joiners, very good, played a nice mix of old and new songs, unsurprisingly them playing such a small venue sold out in hours, but I guess the age of audience meant it wasn't such a sweaty horrible mess as most gigs I've been to there, and apart from the last song (you can guess what that was) it was mostly swaying rather than raucus dancing :)

Huey is no longer in the band, the guitarist didn't say much, but the drummer is charasmatic, him and the singer/bassist/brass/keyboardist interacted with the crowd a bit.

noisy one last night

NY Hardcore/noise pioneers Unsane played an intimate gig, which was good, v loud, they're touring playing mostly early stuff from their first 2 albums

https://unsane.bandcamp.com/

(infamous for their first album cover which is nsfw!)

is probably the only song that ever got any airtime on Mtv etc

support came from local band Hummune https://hummune.bandcamp.com/album/the-totality
who i've mentioned before when I've seen them, great if you like you stoner rock/doom/sludge :)

Not been yet but booked Natalie Merchant at Glasgow concert hall on November 5th on her British tour, can’t wait after listening to her new album 👍 highly recommend her if she’s playing near you

tickets on sale Friday, if you like heavy/edgy/hip hop /metal, well recommended.

interesting/good for them they're playing Engine Rooms, this time, which is the next size up in the local venues, Joiners last time was sold out and heaving, I think they've won an award or two since then, and have toured USA, and supported some pretty big bands like Offspring, so makes sense
