HelBic 10th Nov 2022		Live Music Squeeze @ Liverpool Philharmonic Hall	An excellent gig with Glenn Tilbrook doing all the heavy lifting. Musically they were excellent and packed in all the hits. JCC was his usual self, not my cup of tea and he did use a number of really old jokes between poems. I really don't like his shouty delivery. Like I said, Squeeze, superb and value for money.
HelBic 3rd Dec 2017		Live Music Queen @ Empire Theatre	The first time I saw then, billed as the Crazy Tour as they were playing small venues. The Empire held (I think) around 1500 people which at the time I thought was big... I say rhem next at the NEC. Now THAT was big
HelBic 9th Oct 2017		Live Music Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash @ The Brindley	Review I also attended this gig, and haven't seen any incarnation of Ash for around 20 years. I was lucky enough to see the band with the original lineup which was great. This time around only Martin Turner from the orignal lineup was in attendance (and yes, I know that this isn't Ash but that's only because MT can't use the name anymore, instead having to be billed as "Martin Turner - Ex Wishbone Ash". I found Danny Willson to be a good guitar player and his vocals fit snugly against Martin's. The other guitarist on the band is Misha Nikolic who was also pretty good but didn't appear as good as DW. Of course, this could have been because he wasn't given as much to do! Last but not least was Tim Brown on drums. He was good using a very small kit. Finally a word about Martin's performance. It was good, nay great .... but for a man his age. He is now in his seventh decade and it is (unsurprisingly) starting to show in his vocal performance. He can't get the higher notes of old and his sustain has blown but hey, still very much worth watching and a good gig. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
HelBic 8th Nov 2015		Live Music Black Sabbath @ Liverpool Stadium	Review This was the first ever gig I attended. I had all the albums up to this point and was very disappointed. They were so loud (they had recently been billed as the loudest band in the world) that my ears were ringing for days later and, as they were so loud I couldn't actually hear the music, if that makes sense. I was so put off I didn't listen to them again for years but of course when I did, I instantly became a fan once more. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
