Gedge is usually out and about before the gig starts so keep yours eyes open. If you see him, take him down Nana for a pint :)

Haha... “Everyone Thinks he Looks Khrap” Havent listened to anything newer than Watusi. Be gutted if I went and they didn’t play the old stuff.

I never get to hear of these events. Only found out Morrissey was coming last year when I heard the news it was cancelled. Did the Buzzcocks play Orgasm Addict down Nana?

I'm not bothered about having a lot of chat or anything and he was going ok. But stopped almost bang on one hour, like he was being paid for an hour and that's all you get.The lights went on and that was that. The tickets were about double the price from when Noel was here a few years ago (with Hugo as a warm-up act as well). It definitely wasn't value for money but Liam's made a few quid from it.

Then again, maybe there was something in the contract. Saw Oasis in ‘95 in a small venue. He’s always been a bit of an arrogant dick, but for some that’s his appeal.

Love the Roses, but let’s be honest... Ian Brown couldn’t exactly hold a note :) Apparently Gallagher had sound problems, so buggered off after an hour.
March 22, 20187 yr Author Only four weeks to go until the "Semi-Legendary" Wedding Present play their first gig in Bangkok. By all accounts, tickets are selling well, but you can still get them here https://www.ticketmelon.com/903/wedding-present-live-in-bangkok Should be a good night.
