carryonsidney 22nd Oct 2023 | | Live MusicMarillion @ Poole Arts Centre (1984) | ReviewUnbelievably I have just found out the support band was none other than the great The Cardiacs!? So I misrembered the gig, but undoubtedly the unusual time changes and what not certainly made an impression on the young me.

carryonsidney 24th Sep 2023 | | Live MusicRamonas @ The Old Woollen (2023) | ReviewGreat gig, I can highly recommend The Ramonas, they do an excellent spread of Ramones tunes and a section their own Ramonesque songs without ever falling into the bland "tribute band" territory.

carryonsidney 8th Jan 2019 | | Live MusicThe Curtains @ The Air Balloon (1994) | ReviewThis was the archtypical 3 men and a dog pub gig, as I was in Thee Henchmen we got up and did our bit to the hard core regulars of the pub who it seemed were of the old hard rock fan variety, we got a few claps for our fuzzed out garage thing. The Curtains got up and despite being much better than us their brand of Mod music dropped stone dead....

carryonsidney 8th Jan 2019 | | Live MusicMarillion @ Poole Arts Centre (1984) | ReviewHighly entertaining gig by Fish & Co, the very odd thing I remember best after 35 years was the somewhat experimental support band which basically played a kind of early Acid house/ industrial dance music of sorts, this did not go down well with the mainly HM audience however it turned out to be the future!

carryonsidney 18th Oct 2018 | | Live MusicDeep Purple @ Wembley Arena (2003) | ReviewThis was probably the most boring gig I have ever been too, bar none. Enlivened slightly by 'Freebird' and Ian Gillan's odd change of outfit after the 1st number.
£28.50 + £3.50 booking fee + £5 car park should have asked for my money back!

carryonsidney 9th Nov 2017 | | Live MusicKiss @ Gaumont (1984) | ReviewA gig I went to (belated birthday present from big brother). We watched Bon Jovi, I didn't rate them at all (not heavy enough). Kiss were great live even sans the makeup, gig sound wasnt great as left hand PA speaker stack buzzed all through the gig. Funny I remember that but not my breakfast this morning!

carryonsidney 24th Oct 2016 | | Live MusicThe Persuaders [Bournemouth] @ Parley Memorial Hall (1991) | ReviewA sort of community project for young people, the bands didn't play in this order however as far as I know only the various members of The Persuaders would go onto make records (The Curtains, Hipster, Hoodwinks etc).
On the back of the ticket I have written (about the Persuaders) "three people danced!"

carryonsidney 24th Apr 2016 | | Live MusicMotörhead @ O2 Apollo (2011) | ReviewProvided I got the right year I was surprized at how quiet this gig was? A couple years later I saw the original Quo here and again it was quiet, not a great venue if you want hear it without fighting your way to the front.
