Quad5point1 4th Nov 2016 | | TVUniversity Challenge (1962 - Now) | I don't know about him not having anything worth saying, you just have to watch two of the series he wrote and presented for the BBC The Victorians and Empire, for me they were just superb.

Quad5point1 16th Oct 2016 | | Vinyl AlbumSimon And Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water | @ getalife, Haven't a notion. The copy I have now wasn't bought too long ago but I did buy it when it was released and it was definitely matte both sides

Quad5point1 16th Oct 2016 | | Live MusicThe Sessions @ The SSE Arena | ReviewDidn't really have much expectation of what we were going to see but all in all it wasn't a bad nights entertainment. Musically I thought the show was quite good, there were several versions of The Beatles and they would change intermittently to suit the narrative of the show. One set of Beatles were definitley better sounding. It did get a bit hammy and over acted in places but not bad. I was surprised however to sit and watch the studio engineer smoking quite a bit throughout the performance and was obviously added to give a sense of how it must've been back in the day but in this day of anti-smoking legislation I'm surprised they got that passed. Every now and then the scene would be broken up by a group of teenagers running around screaming which I didn't particularly like, other than that quite a good evening.

Quad5point1 15th Oct 2016 | | Live MusicBrit Floyd @ Belfast Waterfront | ReviewWould've got a 10 only Damien in the band had a broken ankle, his leg was in a cast and he had difficulty playing. There were the odd moments when he would lose concentration, balance or something else and strange notes would eminate from his guitar. He at one point when finishing a number on an accoustic guitar played the wrong ending note and he visibly slumped his head forward in a dispondant manner. You couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy. In true Wall fashion " The Show Must Go On "

Quad5point1 15th Oct 2016 | | Live MusicHorslips @ Dunluce Castle | ReviewThis, on the face of it should've been a good night, unfortunately it turned out to be one of the coldest summer solstices in living memory. Being perched on the clifftops overlooking the Irish Sea only served to exacerbate the situation with the wind coming off the sea making the temperatures plummet even further. I felt sorry for the guys in Horslips as by the time they came on it was freezing and they could hardly play their instruments at all. So all-in-all a pretty gruelling event and one not to be repeated

Quad5point1 15th Oct 2016 | | Live MusicAlison Krauss And Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas @ Belfast Waterfront | Absolutely superb concert from start to finish. Favourite track from the night would have to be Ghost in This House
|
Quad5point1 15th Oct 2016 | | Live MusicJethro Tull @ Belfast Waterfront | Although billed as Jethro Tull it should really have been Ian Anderson as he was the only person on stage all night. It got a tad boring for my liking and I left after he played Thick As A Brick at the start of the second set

Quad5point1 15th Oct 2016 | | Live MusicDeep Purple @ St George's Market | Originally scheduled as an outdoor concert at Custom House Square in Belfast it was moved indoors to St Georges Market due to weather conditions. St Georges Market has a very low ceiling and isn't very big and the band played at Spinal Tap levels. I had to plug my ears it was so loud and eventually ended up in the street to get away from the noise. A totally ruined night because of the volume levels and I've had tinitus ever since.

Quad5point1 14th Oct 2016 | | Live MusicJourney @ Odyssey Arena | Only went to this gig to see Thunder. As soon as Thunder finished I was heading for the door but my wife wanted to see what the other acts were like. After sitting through Whitesnake with an aging adolescent singer (Coverdale) I just wanted to leave. All he could do was strut round the stage clutching his crotch, I think he did this in order to hit the high notes :-)
