Mello Yello 2,289 Posted June 26, 2022 I've done many gigs and a few festivals although I'd much rather go to the Waterfront to watch a gig, either upstairs in the Studio - or leaning against a support pillar downstairs in an intimate but atmospheric, punchy environment.....The UEA is also pretty good and wherever you are in the audience you have a decent view of the act and aren't staring at a microdot performer from a distance. I prefer and go with accessible toilets, bar and very few annoying chumps....I did the great Killers gig at Carra and had a decent view and I also enjoyed the Blossoms who were good....Thetford Forest is a decent venue and fairly well organised....Personal choices....I've never been keen on festivals. For me it's go to a gig then go home....suits me.....I don't spend the majority of the performances with my smartphone pointed towards the act either.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't "edgy" the current in-vogue word to describe musicians who deploy loudness and a flashy stage show to cover up a total lack of talent, rather in the way comedians submerge unfunny material in a welter of naughty words?

On another point it's very difficult to get tickets due to demand so I always wonder how some people go year after year … and every year without fail someone makes a political statement from the stage and the media go bat-crazy over it. Its happened again this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
